Key role of destinations finally recognised
Countries, local governments and protected areas have everything on the line to ensure tourism sustainability, but they were hardly visible in the larger tourism award schemes so far. This has changed now ITB Berlin hosts this annual Sustainable Top 100 Awards event.

The event is organised by Green Destinations with the support of TravelMole’s Vision on Sustainable Tourism, BookDifferent.com and ten other Top 100 Organising partners.
