Namibia Media Holdings announced the finalists of the 2017 Responsible Tourism Awards (RTA) yesterday.
The awards, initiated by Namibia Media Holdings, aim to acknowledge and reward tourism operators and accommodation establishments who practise ecotourism and invest in the communities where they operate.
The awards are linked to the Namibia Tourism Expo, an annual event which brings together tourism operators from Namibia and neighbouring countries to network and market their products and services.
Nine entries were received for this year’s awards.
The four finalists are: Gondwana Etosha Safari Camp from the Oshikoto Region, Jackalberry Lodge from the Zambezi Region, Ongava Tented Lodge from the Oshikoto Region and Wilderness Safari Hoanib Skeleton Coast from the Kunene Region.
They were assessed with a focus on safe travel, which is the theme of the 2017 Namibia Tourism Expo.
The winner will be announced at the official opening of the Namibia Tourism Expo on Wednesday, 31 May at the Windhoek Showgrounds.
The winner and runners-up will receive free coverage in a Namibia Media Holdings publication of their choice. The coverage may market their products and services, or community projects in the areas where they operate and will be worth N$200 000 (first place), N$150 000 (second place), N$100 000 (third place) and N$50 000 (fourth place).
