The Society of American Travel Writers

PHOENIX AWARD

 

 

 

 

"Because tourism leaves permanent 'footprints,' some harmful to the environment, some destroying the reasons for traveling, the Society of American Travel Writers in 1969 created an award to recognize conservation and preservation efforts of individuals and organizations," SATW President Len Barnes said in 1988.

Since then, SATW has recognized conservation, preservation, beautification and anti-pollution accomplishments as they relate to travel. The Society's award was conceived by member and active conservationist Rosellen Callahan, and encouraged by then-president Bob Kane. Glenn Lashley was chair for the first 12 years.

SATW members are invited to nominate individuals, communities, or organizations that have contributed to a quality travel experience through conservation, preservation, beautification or environmental efforts. Nominations, describing the evolution of worthy projects, are considered by the SATW Phoenix Committee and submitted with recommendations to the Board of Directors for final approval.
