UN Tourism & FIA Launch Sustainable Sports Tourism Awards

New UN Tourism and FIA Awards Launch for Sustainable Development in Sports Tourism

A new initiative, the UN Tourism and FIA Awards for Sustainable Development in Sports Tourism, has been launched. This collaboration between UN Tourism (the United Nations World Tourism Organization) and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) aims to recognize and promote sustainable practices within the sports tourism sector.

The awards were officially announced at the 25th Session of the UN Tourism General Assembly. This partnership signifies a commitment to integrating sustainability principles into the rapidly growing field of sports tourism, which often involves major events and significant travel.

The primary objective of these awards is to highlight innovative projects and initiatives that contribute to environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic viability within sports tourism. By doing so, they seek to inspire a broader adoption of sustainable development goals across the industry.

The collaboration leverages the global reach and expertise of UN Tourism in developing sustainable tourism, and the FIA’s extensive experience in motorsports and its commitment to safety and sustainability. This synergy is expected to drive positive change and elevate the importance of responsible tourism in sports.

The awards will provide a platform for stakeholders to showcase their efforts and share best practices, encouraging a more conscious approach to sports tourism development worldwide. Further details regarding nomination processes and award categories are anticipated.
