Responsible tourism award winners

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are two overall winners in the 2016 World Responsible Tourism Awards: Lemon Tree Hotel and Tren Ecuador. We want to leave a mark as to where Responsible Tourism is at present, to highlight organisations that really are taking tourism in a new and highly responsible direction for the future. The judges found it very difficult to separate the two overall winners, as both have had significant impacts at scale in their respective areas and have the potential to inspire real change - as such they are awarded jointly:

Tren Ecuador, Ecuador
Ecuador is a country that just makes us happy in the world of responsible tourism. First, because it has a Ministry of Happiness and Wellbeing in its government, second because it has more protected, biodiverse magnificence tucked into one small country than anywhere else we can think of and third, it has a luxury train journey that is as much about drinking in the culture of the communities along the railway line as it is about the champagne on board. You can take that wonderful journey between Guayaquil to Quito, but if you are hungry or want to tuck up for the night you have to get off the train and tuck into local fare or sleep at a local hotel. This happiness thing is working in Ecuador, because they have just created the ultimate in Fair Train tourism.

Lemon Tree Hotels, India
India really does know how to do luxury hotels. You only need to have dipped into regal Rajasthan or the glimmering Golden Triangle to see that quality of service and facilities is something that Indian hotel chains pride themselves on. At Lemon Tree Hotels, they are adding to this quality by taking a refreshing approach to employment principles and practices that has introduced a whole new fragrance of fairness throughout the company.
