British couple Amy and Neal Carter-James have been named a winner of the Tourism for Tomorrow award from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) for establishing an eco-tourism lodge in Mozambique. The duo opened the Guludo Beach Lodge in the Quirimbas National Park to help alleviate poverty in the community.
Guludo, which donates 5 percent of its income to charity each year, was awarded the Community Benefit Award for its contribution and commitment to the local community. Through its non-profit charity, Nema-Foundation, Guludo works with 16 local communities to implement grassroots projects including malaria eradication, clean drinking water, primary healthcare, and rural agriculture production.
