As Canadians we know our sports and entertainment heroes. But what about those in tourism? Who, exactly, is contributing to Alberta's fourth largest industry? Who's behind the controls - who's making a difference?

The search, and consequent celebration, of those tourism "heroes," is what the Alto Awards program achieves.

Travel Alberta's Alto Awards recognize individuals and organizations committed to enriching Alberta's tourism industry and who by their actions inspire others and demonstrate what can be achieved by working together.
