The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) is a non-profit organization, actively in operation since 1990. For the 30 years, TIES has been working to contribute to sustainable practice and raise global awareness much needed for ecotourism.

TIES places focus on celebrating global ecological destinations and supporting the people and organizations that are responsible and sustainable in their practices with a respect to our planet. TIES’ established principals for the protection and preservation of all natural resources are widely acknowledged and utilized in nations all over the world.

In this spirit, we wish to reward and publicly acknowledge, encourage ecotourism and sustainable tourism efforts around the world. We encourage any sustainable tourism endeavor, destination, project, or attraction to submit their work and enter this global contest organized by the TIES Eurasia Chapter.
