   In 2003, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) launched its vision statement - the Blueprint for New Tourism. Outlining a multi-stakeholder vision, the Blueprint for New Tourism "looks beyond short-term considerations... and focuses on benefits not only for people who travel, but also for people in the communities they visit, and for their respective natural, social and cultural environments." One way in which WTTC exemplifies that vision for New Tourism is with the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards.
