Entries are now open for the MyTravelResearch.com International Toilet Tourism Awards 2019. The aim of the awards is to demonstrate the relationship between the provision of great toilets and success in a visitor economy - whilst raising awareness of the importance of sanitation at the same time. So, we're asking you to help us get the message out about the intrinsic link between the two Ts - toilets and tourism by sharing the best toilets with the world.

It is also a fabulous opportunity to promote your destination or business on an aspect we know gets people talking and drives visitation.
