Kusuku olungaphambili, iPeople and Places iphumelele iwonga leBest for Responsible Tourism Campaigning. Namhlanje uSallie Grayson uvule ngokujonga uphuhliso lweshishini lokhenketho kwiinyanga ezili-12 ezidlulileyo.

Nangona kunjalo, wayengenathemba njengoko edize ukuba wayesandula ukunxibelelana nemibutho engamavolontiya engama-90 kwaye wabuza ukuba banayo na imigaqo-nkqubo yokukhusela abantwana. Bangama-26 kuphela abaphendulileyo, abali-15 kubo bathi ewe, kodwa bahlanu kuphela abathi benza ukuba imigaqo-nkqubo yabo ifumaneke esidlangalaleni okanye bamthumelele ubungqina obuceliweyo.
UVicky Smith ovela kwiZiko laMazwe ngamazwe loKhenketho oluPhetheyo lugxile ekuthengiseni uxanduva lokuvolontiya, kwaye wabonisa ukuba i-avareji yenyanga ye-Google ifuna amagama angundoqo "ivolontiya ngaphandle" inombolo ye-9900, kodwa "i-volontiya enoxanduva" yi-10 kuphela.

Kolunye uphuhliso olubalulekileyo lokugqibela, uSallie Grayson ubhengeze ukuba abantu kunye neNdawo kulo nyaka bazakusungula uluhlu lweenkampani zamavolontiya anoxanduva, elivumela abo banqwenela ukufumana amathuba okuvolontiya ngokweenqobo ezisesikweni ukuba babe nendawo yokuqala abanokuyithemba.
Iseshoni yokugqibela yenkqubo yokhenketho enoxanduva lwe-WTM ka-2013 ijonge igalelo lezoqoqosho lelifa lemveli kukhenketho.

Iindwendwe zilala kwaye zitye ukutya kwazo enqanaweni, kwaye zichitha nje iiyure ezimbalwa kwizitrato zaseVenice, apho eyona nto zithengwayo zizishwamshwam kunye nezikhumbuzo. Oku ke kudala ingxaki enkulu yenkunkuma esixekweni.
Wachaza imeko efanayo eKhambodiya, apho ukuthandwa kwetempile yaseAngkor Wat kubone iihotele ezininzi ezintsha zakhiwe. Kodwa ngelishwa batsala kakhulu kwitafile yamanzi, kwaye ngenxa yoko amatye ezikhumbuzo ayancipha. Lo monakalo wongezwa ngumthamo wabakhenkethi abakhukulisa izakhiwo njengoko behamba benqumla kuzo.
