Sustainable Sport Initiatives

UN Tourism x FIA have launched the 'UN Tourism Awards for Excellence in Sustainable Sports Tourism,' a global initiative created to recognize and promote innovation, sustainability, and community impact within the sports tourism sector. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to advancing tourism practices that minimize environmental impact while delivering social and economic benefits.

The awards aim to highlight organizations, destinations, and initiatives that lead with eco-friendly strategies — from sustainable event planning and low-impact infrastructure to programs that support biodiversity and engage local communities.

Honoring achievements across four key categories, the initiative is designed to inspire best practices, foster collaboration, and accelerate the transition toward a more responsible, inclusive, and climate-conscious sports tourism industry. By spotlighting sustainability leaders, UN Tourism x FIA aim to encourage broader adoption of environmentally responsible practices in sports-related travel
