And the winner is….
We are proud and happy that Help Tourism bagged two awards at the Travel and Tourism Fair TTF, India’s largest travel show and one of the biggest in Asia.
Judges at the TTF-Hyderabad (3rd to 5th July 2009) felt that “Help Tourism’s sustained effort to safeguard the environment and involve the local communities in conservation through tourism has been an example of best practices in what is truly meant by EcoTourism”.
Consequently, they awarded the Help Tourism movement in East-and Northeast India with the “Best Initiative to Protect Environment Award 2009”
The Dibang Valley Jungle Camp, in Mishmi Hills, Eastern Arunachal Pradesh, is a new project, only recently launched by Help Tourism. Judges honored the camp as “Most Innovative Tourism Product 2009“.
While presenting the award Mr.G.Ibrahim, Executive Director of Fairfest Media Limited said: ‘It is important to note as to how Help Tourism has been extending its work to far-flung areas and reaching out to remote rural populace with their unique tourism initiatives that support local enterprises and combine local experiences and culture in such a way that the visitors get master-piece holidays and inspirational value.”
