For ITB Berlin, awards for social and ecological responsibility in tourism are also a key theme. The World Legacy Awards, a partnership between National Geographic Traveller Magazine and ITB Berlin, showcase the leading travel and tourism companies, organisations and destinations – ranging from entire countries to small islands and from urban hotels to jungle retreats – driving the sustainable tourism transformation of the global travel industry.
On March 8, 2017, the winners will be announced onstage at the presentation of the World Legacy Awards in the Palais am Funkturm, the new awards venue of ITB Berlin. The World’s Largest Travel Show will give the finalists an opportunity to present their innovative solutions to an international audience.
On March 9, 2017, another festive event will take place in the Palais am Funkturm: a traditional presentation of the international TO DO! awards of the Study Group for Tourism, a long-standing partner of ITB Berlin and outstanding pioneer of sustainable tourism.
