We’re delighted to announce that Devon Contract Waste (DCW) is sponsoring the Regenerative Tourism category at this year’s Devon Tourism Awards, taking place on Thursday 27 November 2025.
This category shines a light on tourism businesses that are leading the way in sustainability — organisations that not only welcome visitors to our beautiful county but also ensure they leave a positive impact on the environment. From reducing waste and carbon emissions to protecting wildlife and engaging local communities, regenerative tourism is about creating a legacy of care for Devon’s people, places, and environment.
Why regenerative tourism matters
Tourism is central to Devon’s economy, but it’s also uniquely dependent on the health of our natural landscapes, wildlife, and communities. Regenerative tourism goes further than simply reducing negative impacts; it actively seeks to restore and enhance the places visitors come to enjoy.
DCW shares these values. For over 35 years, we’ve supported businesses across Devon with sustainable waste management and recycling solutions — from hotels and attractions to restaurants and event venues. By keeping waste out of landfill and championing recycling, we help organisations reduce their footprint and protect the environment that makes Devon so special.
Looking ahead to awards night
We’re proud to celebrate the achievements of businesses that are embedding sustainability into their visitor experiences. The finalists of the Regenerative Tourism category show what’s possible when innovation, care, and community come together.
We’re looking forward to joining the celebrations on 27 November and recognising the outstanding efforts of tourism businesses that are helping to shape a greener future for our county.
