At the climax of the Global Tourism Resilience Day Conference & Exhibition 2026, the Champions of Resilience Awards Ceremony, at Safari Park Hotel on Global Tourism Resilience Day (17th February 2026), we bagged an award!!
We humbly and excitedly received the Sustainable Tourism & Eco-Certification Leadership Award. This recognition indicates the dedication of our executive leadership, members, partners, secretariat, and all who remain committed to advancing responsible tourism in Kenya.
We appreciate all members, executive leadership, secretariat and partners, for walking this journey with us; linking communities, tourism, and conservation, even amid sector uncertainties.
Congratulations to the other recognized tourism stakeholders.

Sign up for the Leadership & Mentorship Program
Host organisations play a key role in nurturing young professionals in responsible tourism, supporting their career development, and positively engaging youth while receiving practical support within their operations.
Host an intern/attachee with your company. Hosting youth placements comes with real benefits:
-
Fresh skills and ideas
-
Additional capacity to support operational and project needs
-
A chance to mentor and shape future tourism professionals
-
Contribution to workforce development and youth employability within the tourism sector
If your business already runs its own youth placement programme, we’d still love to engage with you in other ways.
