Bonaire gets award
May 5, 2008
Bonaire is the new recipient of the prestigious Islands Magazine/Caribbean Tourism Organization 2008 Sustainable Tourism Award.
The island was awarded the honor in recognition of its longstanding commitment and leadership role in marine conservation and for its proactive mesures in protecting the marine environment. The award was presented by Ty Sawyer, the Editorial Director for Islands, during an awards luncheon at the 10th Annual Sustainable Tourism Conference in Turks and Caicos.
Bonaire’s Lt. Governor Herbert Domacasse accepted the award on behalf of the Island and was accompanied by Director of Tourism Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes and Director of STINAPA Elsmarie Beukenboom. The Sustainable Tourism Award recipient was selected by a panel of judges from Islands Magazine and the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), who reviewed all of the entries submitted by CTO member countries.
Last year, three of Bonaire’s eco-programs were honored in the Islands Magazine Hot 100 Blue List and in 1994 the Bonaire National Marine Park won the Islands Magazine Ecotourism Award.
