Student contest on sustainable tourism in Guam
The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability presents the 2017 Sustainable Tourism Video and Essay Contest. The theme this year is “Let’s Talk Trash: A look into tourism trash-flow.”
Sponsored by Ada’s Trust and Investment, Inc. for the third year in a row and the Bank of Guam for the second year, contestants will explore one or more aspects of trash related to tourism on Guam.
“The contest theme offers students a good opportunity to look at aspects of tourism that will impact the long-term sustainability of the industry. The trash left behind from tourism is not something talked about much but will have long-lasting effects if not addressed and handled properly,” aid Sonny Ada, president of Ada’s Trust and Investment, Inc.
