We are very excited that The Intrepid Foundation is an entrant in the National Geographic Ashoka’s Changemakers Geotourism Challenge: Celebrating Places, Changing Lives. This is a global competition to surface and recognize innovators in geotourism, defined as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of the place being visited – its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. By being part of this competition, we have a great opportunity to get the word out about The Intrepid Foundation to leaders in the geotourism field, investors, the media, potential partners, potential donors and other supporters.
The competition winners will be decided by online voting, so the more people we can inspire, the better!
