Gong!

You'll note from the slightly gaudy insert to the right of this page that this blog has won a gong (well, the dizzy heights of 7th, (yes 7th!) place in the Tripbase Blog Awards 2009.

The awards were apparently initiated to acknowledge travel blogging excellence and recognize the role bloggers play in today's travel market (and do some useful PR for Tripbase of course)

I snuck in just behind Mark Lynas' blog, and a few places ahead of our Futerra housemates Sandbag...no inter-house rivalry here then!

The judging panel consisted of a team of experts who scoured the Internet for the very best travel blogs. The blogs were then short-listed via a rigorous selection process, taking in factors such as information, writing style, design, etc.

A total of 400 blogs were acknowledged for excellence. The full list of winners and finalists can be found on the Tripbase website.

"We were surprised by the number of green travel blogs out there - a sign that people are becoming more eco-conscious when they travel,"
said CEO and co-Founder, Reuven Levitt. "From travelogues to region-specific content, practical guides and niche topics, the standard was consistently high. We hope these awards will help people find their ideal travel blog and, ultimately, the vacation experience that's perfect for them!"

And if it doesn't involve getting on a plane that's even better!
