Calling all changemakers! Africa Travel Week (ATW) is urging responsible tourism businesses to enter the WTM Africa Responsible Tourism Awards. The deadline for submissions is 19 March 2025.
“These annual awards celebrate exceptional efforts driving tourism as a force for good,” says Megan De Jager, Portfolio Director for RX Africa. “They’re our way of honouring initiatives that address key global challenges while enhancing the travel experience.”
Award entries will be judged by a panel of industry experts led by Dr Harold Goodwin, WTM Africa’s Responsible Tourism Advisor.
The six confirmed categories for 2025 are summarised below:
All-Inclusive Tourism: Can it be Responsible?
Adapting to Climate Change
Increasing Local Sourcing (to Create Shared Value)
Peace & Understanding
Managing Waste: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Upcycle
Nature Positive Travel
Winners will be announced live at WTM Africa at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on 10 April 2025. Gold winners in each category will also have the opportunity to compete at the global Responsible Tourism Awards later in 2025.
“In previous years, Africa has scooped as many as five awards in the global accolades and last year we picked up another – this underscores our region’s innovative spirit, drive and commitment to responsible tourism,” De Jager adds.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review about ethiopian airlines in your post. I am an avid traveller and keep reading flight reviews to assess the options available. Your review particularly drew my attention because you have shared so many pictures to capture every aspect of the flight experience. It is a very nice effort.

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
