The 10th Eco Warrior Award ceremony was held at Leisure Lodge, Diani, on 16th October 2015. The event, under the 2015 theme, “Sustainable Tourism: Keeping the Magic Alive”, drew a large number of local, regional and international tourism stakeholders to witness and celebrate corporates that had succeeded in championing responsible tourism in Kenya.

The Eco Warrior Award is an annual event held by Ecotourism Kenya. The award recognizes efforts, innovations and exceptional achievements for promoting responsible tourism and enhancing tourism sustainability which directly conserves the natural environment and is linked to local communities through mutually beneficial and equitable partnerships. Nature conservation through community development by tourism is the essence of ecotourism.
