00:02 - This year the awards were something completely different
00:08 from what has happened in the past.
00:11 You know, it is often said that, you know,
00:13 only the bold survive, only the brave move forward.
00:17 But this year it has proven that only those who persevere
00:21 with passion will thrive.
00:22 We don't wanna just survive, we wanna thrive, right?
00:27 And this year I think has been a celebration
00:30 of all those passionate people who entered for the awards.
00:35 And they are the ones who are gonna ensure that
00:37 not just they thrive, but they ensure that
00:41 the whole responsible tourism movement
00:44 that they are now flag bearers of, that will also thrive.
00:48 So hats off to the kind of entries we've had
00:52 in spite of these phenomenally difficult times
00:56 that everybody is going through.
00:58 We've seen instances in these awards of people rising
01:02 well above all these challenges which everybody is facing.
01:07 There's nobody in this world who's not facing challenges
01:10 in these times.
01:11 But we've seen beautiful instances of people rising up
01:14 to it and ensuring that they thrive,
01:18 ensuring that people around them thrive,
01:21 and ensuring that the business of responsible tourism,
01:26 of being responsible within the tourism industry
01:28 also thrives.
