UKinbound partners Scoop Responsible Tourism Awards

UKinbound, the trade association for the UK’s export tourism businesses, congratulates Eurostar and Anthony Climpson of the New Forest District Council on their Responsible Tourism Awards, announced yesterday during World Travel Market at ExCel in London.

UKinbound member Eurostar won the ‘Best for Transport and Technology’ prize, while the New Forest gained a remarkable hat trick with ‘Best Destination’, the coveted ‘Overall Winner’ award and their Destination Manager, Anthony Climpson, collected a well deserved ‘Person who has made the greatest contribution to responsible tourism’ award. Anthony Climpson will be sharing the secret of the New Forest’s incredible success with delegates attending the UKinbound Convention in February 2008.

Stephen Dowd, chief executive of UKinbound said:

“Eurostar and the New Forest District Council are great examples of responsible tourism in action and worthy winners of these prestigious awards. Their success demonstrates the UK tourism industry’s commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism. Climate change is an important issue for our industry and sustainability must now be a key element in our all our corporate social responsibility strategies. ”

Anthony Climpson will be speaking at the UKinbound Convention, 6th to 8th February 2008 in Torquay. For more information visit Ukinbound.org.
