Travel Writer of the Year Announced

Travel Writer of the Year

International Traveller was thrilled when contributing journalist Louise Goldsbury took home the trophy for "Best Travel Writer" at the recent Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA). Louise won the prestigious award for her story The Big Euro Easy published in the January/February 2013 edition (Issue 3).

Today, Louise said, "It's a total thrill to receive a national award for my first feature in International Traveller. The idea of river cruising doesn't often get non-cruisers excited, so I am pleased we could work together to create an entertaining story. Big thanks to publisher Quentin Long, and also to Craig Owens of Cruise Office in Sydney, who nominated me."

The company's publications ˗ Australia's highest-selling travel magazine Australian Traveller and International Traveller, both offer quality journalism, superb photography and unbiased reviews that Australians can trust.
