"These awards recognise industry contributions through 34 awards across five categories which are accommodation, tourism services, cultural heritage, biodiversity, and adventure / tourism experience.


By recognising the best in the tourism & conservation sector, the aim is to spur the industry on to new heights, by constantly seeking new ways to exceed visitor expectations and create a stellar visitor experience every time. In its second year, with the theme “Celebrating Diversity and Excellence”.


The “2nd Annual Adventure Province Tourism & Conservation Awards” concept is based on similar tourism excellence awards events that take place all over the world, most notably the Indaba Welcome Awards, the First Choice Responsible Awards in London, the Tshwane Tourism Awards, the Welcome Awards, and the Imvelo Responsible Tourism Awards.


The Eastern Cape Parks &Tourism Awards currently participates in two National Tourism Awards - the Welcome Awards (Service Excellence Tourism Awards) and the Eteya Tourism Awards (the Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the year Awards).
