WTTC teams up with Travelport

A strategic partnership between the World Travel and Tourism Council Tourism for Tomorrow awards and Travelport has been announced. The awards were established in 1989 as a way for the travel industry to recognise environmental initiatives in the industry, and to reward responsible tourism development. The partnership shows Travelport’s willingness to participate in green schemes as well as other responsible initiatives within the industry.

President and CEO of Travelport, Jeff Clarke says, “It is an honor to sponsor an event that affirms Travelport’s commitment to develop innovative technologies that optimize the potential for mass travel and expand the travel sector globally. As a provider of travel services worldwide, we are cognizant of the issues related to responsible travel and are committed to doing our part to preserve the environment.

Our sponsorship of the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards emphasizes our pledge to promote growth in the industry and is a testament to our desire to support and lead travel industry initiatives which address global environmental issues.”
