An award for Turismo 2.0 and some photos

Last week I had the honor to receive the Alimara Award as founder of Turismo 2.0, for the category of “Tourism related companies” even though Turismo 2.0 is not precisely a Company, but just a community of Travel Professionals sharing knowledge.

This is an award for the entire community and would like to thank all members of Turismo 2.0 for this success.

Alimara Award for Turismo 2.0

I have been informed from the organization of the awards that Turismo 2.0 has been chosen by the jury as the winner of the ALIMARA 2008.

For 23 years, the CETT Group has been organizing the Alimara Awards which recognize the efforts and the quality of the travel promotion materials.

This is a success story and I see no reason why it can not be done out of our frontiers. It might be a shame that travel bloggers just don’t want to communicate as a group as Darren pointed some days ago. Paul, from Luxury Travel created a T-List Facebook group, but has not taken off, in fact in my experience, Turismo 2.0 also has a Group in Facebook, which does not show much activity. The reason might be that users, like in my particular case, are tired of silly messages on Facebook and are not paying attention to everything that comes to our account, including the groups.

I would be delighted to repeat the Turismo 2.0 success if other bloggers decide to help and support it.
