Winners revealed last night at the British Travel Press Awards

Posted by Debbie Hindle on 29 November 2011 | 0 Comments

It was hugely rewarding to see such a great turn out to the third British Travel Press Awards on Monday night. I'm an advisor to the awards because I think it's an excellent idea to have a neutral awards scheme which recognises excellent travel writing, broadcasting, blogging and photography. Well done to all the winners who included;

The Award for Outstanding Contribution: This award recognises two individuals who have achieved the utmost excellence in their contributions as travel writers, photographers or broadcasters judged by the leading figures in the world of PR and travel.
