The World Tulip Summit
Society, a network of tulip lovers (tulipists) from 17 countries, is committed
to promoting the tulip as a symbol of world friendship. Each World Tulip
Summit, held biannually, is an opportunity to celebrate the special history of
the tulip and its relationship with mankind over the many centuries.
In the spirit of its 2015 Summit theme “Generating Success with Garden and Tulip Tourism”, WTSS decided to launch the first “World Tulip Awards”, to recognize those that excel in the promotion and celebration of the tulip.

“Tulips are part of the culture of
many countries and tulip attractions, events and festivals are very much part
of a destination’s tourism appeal. Visiting tulip destinations provides
opportunities to share our cultures and establish friendships”, says Michel
Gauthier, Chair of the World Tulip Summit Society.
World Tulip Awards are presented to
organizations and individuals who have distinguished themselves in the
development and promotion of tulips as part of their destination’s tourism
appeal.
