WTM World Responsible Tourism Day

Connecting communities and environment with Responsible Tourism

WTM World Responsible Tourism Day is a global day of action, encouraging to help drive change by educating more responsible behaviour with the travel and tourism industry and travelling public. For the fourth consecutive year, the event will be held  at the World Travel Market in London, which is the largest global travel and tourism industry event, and various locations across the world on Wednesday 10 November 2010.

 In close co-operation with hotels, guesthouses, tour operators and local NGOs in Siem Reap and Cambodia, we at angkorhotels.org hope to repeat previous years' success and organize a networking event with key industry stakeholders and valued partners on the evening of the WTM World Responsible Tourism Day.
 
Our aim in hosting an event on the WTM World Responsible Tourism Day in Siem Reap is to bring together many NGOs and charities from all spectrums (environmental, health care, education, arts and crafts, centres for children and vocational training centres) to highlight their work and discuss how the tourism and hospitality industry can impact the local communities and their livelihoods, and environment they operate within in a positive manner. Additionally, we hope to create interest for and promote traditional Cambodian arts and culture to a global market.
