AVIS TRAVELLERS‘ AWARDS
The Avis Travellers’ Awards proudly recognise the spirit of innovation by celebrating emerging cultural destinations, shining a light on a new breed of art hotels that offer not just bedrooms, but unique and immersive cultural experiences. This year, we also recognise those individuals who are transforming the norms of travel by sharing cultural insights and experiences on their blogs and social channels
Lord Cultural Resources is proud to partner with Leading Culture Destinations for the third year to present the Soft Power Destination Awards. Created to celebrate the power of cultural organizations to influence and empower their communities and beyond. Large national museums have long been effective in cultural diplomacy, providing the places, collections and expertise that governments need to impress and enlighten allies and trading partners and their publics with their cultural attainment. Today, with the rise of social media, and the growing importance of cities, we are increasingly seeing that small and mid-sized institutions can exercise outsized influence both locally and internationally. This year’s winners of the “Soft Power Destination Awards” are great examples of how relatively small institutions can have large-scale impact through soft power. The winners in this category have become soft power destinations by being accountable and transparent, and by seeking to be excellent, relevant and sustainable in all that they do. In an increasingly complex world, these institutions are shining inspirations.
