The British Guild of Travel Writers was formed in 1960.
In 2010 we will be celebrating our half-century with a number of anniversay projects and events.
Yearbook Launch 2010
The Yearbook Launch is on Thursday 25th February, at the just opened fabulous new Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. We are extremely lucky to have this great new venue, a £350million new hotel looking straight over the River to the Houses of Parliament.
 The hotel has 1021 rooms, 54 suites and penthouses, 35 meeting rooms, two executive lounges, a 24-hour business centre and private suite check-in area. The 5 restaurants and bars all on the first floor are overseen by Joël Antunes who made his name in the UK as the former head chef at Les Saveurs in Mayfair. It’s a suitable setting for the beginning of the BGTW’s 50th Birthday.
The hotel is laying on a great evening for 450 BGTW members and guests from the travel industry.
For more information on the hotel go to www.youtube.com/parkplazahotels.
We look forward to seeing you on 25th February.

"Curious male onlookers make photography difficult in Pakistan, but although my own temper rose, people were never aggressive. In Jacobabad, I traced a line in the dust and told three hundred tribesmen to stand behind it. Which they did. Such orders would never be tolerated in another country, but there was always laughter - at my expense - for the sight of the tall, angry woman photographer was more fun than the cinema!"
Christine Osborne, An Insight and guide to Pakistan (Longman). |
