2013 Responsible Whale Watch Awards

Twelve whale and dolphin watching businesses from around the world have today been shortlisted for the prestigious 2013 Responsible Whale Watch Awards, including a record four from Portugal. The Responsible Whale Watch Awards are the only awards of their kind. To win them, businesses have to impress both their customers and their piers based on their efforts to be responsible and sustainable.

Three awards are available, one for the winner and two for the runners up. The award winners will be announced following a vote by the Responsible Whale Watch Partnership and all attendees of the International Whale Watch Conference, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA, on 5th November 2013.

Before voting, shortlisted businesses will be offered the opportunity to give a short presentation at the conference. So why not join us in Gloucester, USA, and help make sure the very best in the business win the Awards!
