Jury citation
Many global tourist destinations are suffering from being overrun by huge visitor numbers. The slow tourism of The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp suggests a softer touch. The experiences here for tourists are not offering hospitality with a high demand in terms of energy and resource use. The low-impact buildings and site services offer delightfully simple sleeping huts rather than a high-end hotel, something which suggests visitors who book an experience here are much more in tune with the spirit of the place.
