Barber’s piece, Prime Amazon, was among several features honoured at the awards, which spanned the trade press, consumer newspaper and magazine titles, blogs, vlogs and podcasts, and photography.
In Prime Amazon, Barber journeyed across Peru with Intrepid Travel from the depths of the Amazon jungle to the heights of Machu Picchu to learn about the ins and outs of responsible small group adventure touring.
She was accompanied by eight travel agents as part of the TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes trip, which saw Barber face up to some of her worst fears, experience traditional Quechuan hospitality, and help her agent touring partners get the most out of their adventure.
