Condé Nast Traveler has named The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa finalist in the magazine‘s 2008 World Savers Awards. The hotel is one of 38 companies selected worldwide as a leader in social responsibility in the magazine’s September issue.

Seventeen judges reviewed 142 applications and rated how applicants exercise social responsibility in five key areas: poverty alleviation, cultural and/or environmental preservation, education, wildlife conservation, and health. Thirty-eight finalists were named and the final winners were determined by compiling the judges‘ overall rankings.

The finalists will be recognized at the World Savers Awards ceremony on September 23rd at the 2nd Annual Condé Nast Traveler World Savers Congress in New York City.

"These finalists are prime examples of how the world‘s hotels, airlines, cruise lines and tour operators can inspire their peers to improve our world," said Deputy Editor for Special Projects Dorinda Elliott. "The efforts by these World Savers, from building schools and furnishing much-needed medical supplies to restocking wildlife reserves and dispensing mirco-loans, are models for the entire travel industry.  Clive Bennett, the hotel’s Managing Director, said, "We are honored to be recognized as one of many striving to improve this planet we all share.“
