The search is on for the prestigious <strong>Germany</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> Writers’ <strong>Awards</strong><br />
London, 10 th August 2011 – The German National Tourist Office (GNTO)<br />
has just begun this year’s search for the winners of the prestigious<br />
<strong>Germany</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> Writers’ <strong>Awards</strong>.<br />
For more than 20 years the GNTO has been celebrating the media<br />
coverage of <strong>Germany</strong> as a travel destination together with media<br />
representatives at its annual press lunch, the highlight being the award<br />
ceremony for the best articles that have been published within UK and<br />
Ireland.<br />
Last year’s <strong>Travel</strong> Writers’ <strong>Awards</strong> had a big surprise, the press lunch<br />
ended with two winners: Adrian Bridge was celebrated for his article<br />
“Coming up for air in the city of heroes”, published in the Daily Telegraph in<br />
October 2009 and Mike Parker received the <strong>Travel</strong> Writers’ Award for “Bloc<br />
to the future”, published in the Lonely Planet Magazine in January 2010.<br />
Both winners received a signed GNTO certificate and were able to enjoy a<br />
weekend in Frankfurt. In addition, CARA Magazine was awarded with the<br />
media trophy for their overall support of <strong>Germany</strong> as a travel destination.<br />
This year’s <strong>Germany</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> Writers’ <strong>Awards</strong> will again have amazing prizes<br />
for the winners. Up until 15 th September journalists can enter by simply<br />
