00:08 - Daily earnings. (speaking in foreign language)
00:13 - This year's overall winner is Delhi Food Walks.
00:43 It's an extraordinary achievement
00:45 by the group who put this together.
00:47 Not only does it increase the quality
00:50 of the tourism experience and create meaningful connections
00:54 between tourists, visitors, and residents,
00:58 and the local food sellers who offer so much
01:01 of the local culture of India through the food
01:04 that they cook, the way they prepare it,
01:06 and the way it's shared.
01:08 But it's also a great example of putting the interests
01:12 of those who are often not considered
01:15 by the tourism industry.
01:17 The people who create the local environment,
01:20 create the ambience, create a large part
01:24 of why Delhi is such an exciting place to visit.
01:28 One of the exciting things for me about India
01:30 is the strength of the cultural experience
01:33 that you have just by walking around the streets of Delhi.
01:36 And this is a great example of bringing that to the fore,
01:40 looking after their interests in the context of COVID
01:43 and celebrating their contribution to tourism in Delhi.
01:47 They are really worthy winners,
01:49 and they're a global example
01:50 of what responsible tourism can deliver
01:52 for local communities and for visitors.
