The RARE Conscious Travel Awards, introduced at the RARE Showcase 2023, celebrate the efforts of small, boutique, owner-led hotels that go beyond traditional hospitality. These awards recognize RARE partner hotels and individuals who have made significant contributions to responsible tourism, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.
This award honors two exceptional RARE hotels that have self-nominated for their outstanding contributions to responsible tourism. These boutique, owner-led properties have put their destination on the map while staying true to community-sensitive and eco-conscious principles.
The Hero’s Journey recognizes their relentless efforts to improve practices in line with the RARE Touchstones.
This award acknowledges a dedicated staff member, nominated by their hotel, who exemplifies the values of responsible travel and sustainability. The Individual Crusader upholds the owner’s vision, ensuring that ethical practices are consistently implemented and refined across the property.
Selected through voting by the travel trade, this award celebrates the RARE hotel that exemplifies the highest standards in boutique hospitality, blending style, sustainability, and a sense of place. The winning hotel will be one that offers an outstanding, immersive guest experience while remaining true to the principles of responsible tourism.
This award, also determined through travel trade voting, recognizes the destination that has become a top choice for conscious travelers. The Best RARE Destination is celebrated for its cultural significance, sustainable development, and immersive experiences that enrich both visitors and the local community.
Voted on by the travel trade, this award honors a hotelier who has shown exemplary leadership in sustainable hospitality. The Best RARE Hotelier is someone who has successfully managed their property while promoting responsible tourism practices and positively influencing the broader travel community.
