World Travel Awards European and Green Awards ceremony will take place in on the greenest resorts on the planet. AquaCity, the geothermal and sun powered luxury Slovakian resort in Poprad, will play host to the first ever green awards.

The event is scheduled for October 16, 2008.

“The challenges of green tourism are the responsibility of every company, organization and individual working in travel and tourism today,” said Graham E. Cook, founder and president of World Travel Awards. “Unless we play our part now, there is no denying that we will all be held to account by future generations. That is why these awards are so crucial to the international travel industry, helping stimulate action that preserves the world, its culture and heritage.”

The World Travel Awards will be celebrating its 15th birthday this year. The awards have built their reputation and success on ecouraging quality on every level and in every dimension of customer offerings, and environmentally sound performance is just another facet that has become important — both for concerned customers and the bottom-line.

“Contrary to what some people still believe, green tourism can increase business efficiency, cut energy costs, increase customer and staff satisfaction plus create that all important feel-good factor for both the business and visitors,” he said.
