MyTravelResearch.com has announced that 1st May will be the final day for entries into the 2018 International Toilet Tourism Awards.

International Toilet Tourism Awards seeks to 'flush out' tourist toilets across the world that have the best location, best design, offer the quirkiest toilet experience, are the most accessible, or have been the best economic contributor to a locality.

"This year we are seeking new entrants who bring a breath of fresh air to the tourist toilet experience," said Bronwyn White, co-founder of MyTravelResearch.com, which created the awards to show the close link between proper public toilets and a thriving tourism economy.

"We aim to show tourism destinations that creative, clean, quirky toilets go a long way to boosting a destinations image and generating tourism dollars," she said.

According to MyTravelResearch.com, The judges will be announcing the winners of 2018 International Toilet Tourism Awards in six categories by the end of May. The overall winner will then receive a $2,000 prize to be donated to a worthy sanitation cause in their name. They will also receive an extensive choice of tourism industry insight reports by MyTravelResearch.com.

Last years overall winner was a portable loo provider who provides country fairs in Queensland, Australia with toilets designed as rustic English cottages and red London phone boxes.Since being hailed overall winners last year, public event organisers in Queensland have been bursting to use Toowoomba Portable Toilets, especially their Dunnies with a Difference range.

"The door is open for new winners to ascend the throne and make a splash," said Carolyn Childs, co-creator of the awards and co-founder of MyTravelResearch.com, along with White.

All toilets used by tourists can be nominated for free online till the end of 1 May, including those in tourism attractions, sight-seeing locations, national parks and reserves, theme parks, restaurants, pubs, and hotel outlets that are open to the public.

MyTravelResearch.com is an insight and consulting company established and run by Bronwyn White and Carolyn Childs. The company was set up in 2011 when White and Childs saw that the tourism businesses and destinations were often confused or overwhelmed by research and struggled to apply it to their companies.

Through pioneering membership approach and crowd-sourced Insights to Action products like the Visiting Friends and Relatives Research, the company provides cost-effective, always on' insight and marketing advice to support business.

While the International Toilet Tourism Awards is a fun initiative by the company to encourage better loos in tourism destinations, MyTravelResearch.com also endorses the efforts of the United Nations(UN) to provide adequate toilets in emerging countries where public health and toilet sanitation are inadequate.
