22nd May 2008 - Bradt Travel Guides
BRADT BOLIVIA AUTHOR WINS
LATA
TOP TRAVEL WRITING AWARD
LATA
TOP TRAVEL WRITING AWARD
20th May was an auspicious date for Bradt author David Atkinson, as the Latin American Travel Association chose him as joint winner of their top award – Travel Article of the Year 2008. David’s winning copy, published during 2007 in Wanderlust magazine, suggested adventurous travel itineraries in Bolivia and offered the kind of insightful background advice that can only come from the author of a well-researched travel guide.
This latest award comes on top of David’s earlier success with his Bolivia guidebook, which was judged Best Guidebook 2007 by the British Guild of Travel Writers. David continues as an enthusiastic propagandist for his subject, reporting that ‘Bolivia remains an undiscovered gem and the perfect destination for travellers seeking a more raw and authentic experience of South America away from the hordes. It's strong on indigenous culture and, given its diversity, caters for all tastes – with accommodation ranging from jungle lodges to colonial-style boutique hotels.’
David Atkinson (www.atkinsondavid.co.uk ) is an award-winning travel writer who previously travelled to Bolivia in 2004 as a volunteer and came back a father. David’s writing appears regularly in UK national press and specialist travel publications. These days he lives in northern England with his Bolivian wife and baby daughter.
