WESSA Tourism Green Coast Summary Report 2018-2020
RECOGNITION FOR TOURISM GREEN COAST
The Green Coast Programme/ Tourism Green Coast project was a Gold Winner in the Bio-diversity category in the 2020 Eco-Logic Awards. The Judges had this to say about Tourism Green Coast:
“This project combines all the elements of Eco- Logic. It is focused on an important biodiversity region and is engaging the youth to ensure its future in a sustainable manner. It supports skills development and job creation and aims to create a sustainable future built on passion for the environment. Among the beneficiaries are the local communities. We feel that this model should be replicated on a national scale as its impact could be beneficial and far reaching. Given the post-COVID need to build a better and greener future, this kind of model has a lot to offer!”
The Ford Wildlife Foundation not only sponsors the Tourism Green Coast project vehicle but is also the funder of the Eco- Logic Biodiversity Award.
