Ethical Traveler Announces ‘Ten Best Ethical Destinations’ Awards for 2023

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Every year, California-based Ethical Traveler reviews the world's developing nations for their commitment to human rights, social welfare, environmental protection, and animal welfare. The ten destinations showing the most impressive progress are honored with "Best Ethical Destinations" Awards. These worthy countries, including several island nations, stand to benefit greatly from our travel dollars in a post-pandemic world.

Despite the chaos wrought by COVID-19, we enter 2023 seeing rays of hope. But the world won't recover overnight. This is especially true for the international travel industry, which employs one out of ten people worldwide. The recent challenges to travel and tourism have had a devastating impact across this vast sector of human society.

Visiting our winning destinations will help these nations emerge from the pandemic's shadow, and continue their impressive work in social justice and environmental stewardship. By "voting with your wings" (once you are vaccinated, of course!), you can reward these nations for their efforts and motivate neighboring countries to do the same.

Ethical Traveler congratulates the 2023 honorees of the Ten Best Ethical Destinations Awards.

In alphabetical order (not in order of merit), the winners are:

* Barbados

* Belize

* Botswana

* Cabo Verde

* Chile

* Costa Rica

* Mongolia

* Palau

* Seychelles

* Timor-Leste

"At long last, travel is returning," says Ethical Traveler's Executive Director Jeff Greenwald. "And as it does, we hope our international community will rise to the occasion. As 2023 unfolds, all of us can play an active role in redefining what travel is, and how it might enhance the lives of people around the world. When we visit the countries on our list - which have taken important steps to increase the welfare of their people while safeguarding their natural treasures - we're expressing our admiration and support in a tangible way."

Adds Greenwald, "One lesson we learned from the pandemic is that our borders are imaginary. We inhabit and share the resources of a small planet, stunning in its beauty, diversity and fragility. Our only path to survival lies with taking care of each other. And this begins with knowing each other. Travel and exploration - whether to the jungles of Belize, the steppes of Mongolia, or the reefs of Seychelles - brings more than a new awareness of this world. It shows us what it means to be human."

About Ethical Traveler:

Ethical Traveler is a project of the Berkeley-based Earth Island Institute, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of Ethical Traveler - "Empowering travelers to change the world" - highlights the economic clout of travel and tourism to protect human rights and the global environment.

No money or donations of any kind are solicited or accepted from any nations, governments or travel providers in the countries under consideration for our annual list. All parts of our 2023 report may be shared freely, with accreditation.

NotaryCam makes its 5th appearance on HousingWire’s annual Tech100 list of innovative technology

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- NotaryCam®, a Stewart-owned company and a pioneering provider of remote online notarization and identity verification/authentication technology for real estate and legal transactions, today announced it has been selected by the publication HousingWire for its annual Tech100 awards program.

Last year, NotaryCam surpassed more than one million successful remote online notarization (RON) transactions and did so while maintaining a net promoter score higher than the mortgage industry average. NotaryCam saw 36% year-over-year growth in real estate transactions and 121% in its insurance transactions. In the last year, NotaryCam has also updated its eClose360® platform, expanding its capabilities and delivering a better user experience for all parties.

For the eleventh year, the Tech100 program provides housing professionals with a comprehensive list of the most innovative and impactful organizations. The list can be leveraged to identify partners and solutions to the challenges that mortgage lenders and real estate professionals face every day.

"We're proud to be included in HousingWire Tech100 list for the fifth year in a row with such great company," said NotaryCam president Brian Webster. "NotaryCam has been a pioneer in the RON space for years. It's something we're continually improving and a necessary tool as the world continues to embrace digitalization."

In 2022, NotaryCam launched "NotaryCam for Independent Notaries," providing a platform for notaries to perform RON transactions on an as-needed basis. Prior to the official product launch, NotaryCam had three individual notaries signed up and by the end of 2022, this user base had grown by over 3,000%.

As NotaryCam continues to expand throughout the mortgage industry, its partnership with a law firm has helped begin specializing in loan modification transactions. Through this partnership, servicing clients have not only reduced turn times and costs, but they have also been able to shorten the execution timeline and reduce or even eliminate the need for overnight shipping.

"Housing News podcast listeners are well aware of my vision and north star of a more elastic housing market - a housing market powered by technology that enables the same human capital efficient operations at 12 million annual loans as 4 million annual loans. We're focused on elevating the innovators that are building paths and solutions that enable the largest and most important sector in the U.S. economy to operate efficiently and profitably - the innovators that make housing more accessible and more desirable for the 130 million households that benefit from the stability and economic advantages of homeownership" said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. "The Tech100 program is the gold standard for organizations in housing who are at the forefront of the kind of innovation that will change the industry forever."

ACES Quality Management Makes Ninth Appearance on HousingWire Tech100 List of Top Mortgage Tech Companies

DENVER, Colo. -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, has been selected for the ninth consecutive year by HousingWire magazine for its annual Tech100 awards program. The magazine chose ACES for the continual innovation of its flagship quality control (QC) auditing platform ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

"2022 was a highly volatile year for mortgage lenders. While loan quality is always a moving target, last year's challenges certainly underscored the need to maintain quality and mitigate risk," ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "At ACES, we're committed to making this target obtainable and seamless by delivering QC tools to help lenders maintain the integrity of their origination and servicing portfolios. Even with lenders tightening their budgets in the face of rapidly declining loan volumes, we still increased our client base by 22%, which speaks to the importance lenders place on loan quality."

In 2022, ACES launched a new compliance-driven oversight process via a role-based permission system within ACES CONNECT. The module allows users to self-remediate audit findings, access reporting and trending data, review audit documents and manage corrective action plans in coordination with their organization's risk department. The company also released a new servicing-focused multi-answer managed questionnaire and added and reviewed over 950 articles along with close to 200 calendar items to its free Compliance NewsHub, in addition to producing its quarterly Mortgage QC Industry Trends report.

2022 also saw the successful launch of ACES' inaugural ACES ENGAGE event for mortgage/financial services risk management and QC professionals. During the event, the company announced its new Certified ACES Administrator (CAA) program to enhance users' knowledge base and offer official accreditation for system administrators. ACES ENGAGE will take place again this year at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colo., on May 17-19, 2023.

"As someone who had a front-row seat to watch the housing economy's tech transformation, I am increasingly in awe of the innovation we have seen from the Tech100 winners year after year," HW Media Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler said. "With new technologies emerging every day, I am proud to be part of this exciting journey that has positioned the industry to be more efficient, more transparent and more accessible than ever before."
