A huge congratulations to all the entrants who made it to the shortlist in each category. There were hundreds of fabulous and worthy entries this year, which made it very hard to discern who would be honoured in our finals.

Most OutThere initiative in community, conservation and sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social responsibility continues to be a core pillar for many of today\u2019s luxury travel brands, encouraging travellers to journey with purpose and not just be conscious about where they travel, but also how they travel, why and with whom. It is heartwarming to see so many brands create initiatives that foster a deep and empathetic understanding of humanity, nature and sustainable custodianship, and garner support for them from their guests, travellers and the public at large. These projects are the best of the best social responsibility projects in community, conservation and sustainability, related to the mindblowing travel experiences that are true to OutThere\u2019s core values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The winner(s) of this category will receive the \u00a315,000<\/strong> \/ $19,000 collected from entry fees to help fund their project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
