We are now on the hunt for nominations for the Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards 2012. Ever taken a holiday that felt like something different?

Nominate in any of our 13 categories for your chance to win an unforgettable seven-night trip for two to Kerala with Virgin Holidays and CGH Earth Hotels.
The lucky winner and their companion will be whisked off to Kerala for an immersive week at some of this beautiful region's most stunning hotels. Designed to blend with and complement the environment in which they are located - be it overlooking a turquoise ocean, nestled in a forest or in the heart of a bustling fishing village - the hotels aim to give all of their guests an authentic experience of the community.
