A glossy magazine designed to promote British tourism has been shortlisted for a top industry award.

Archant Lifestyle’s Discover Britain title has been named by the British Travel Awards as one of the contenders for the Best Consumer Holiday magazine prize for 2014.

The bi-monthly title aims to celebrate all that is great about Britain including its heritage, coast, countryside, culture and people.

The winner of the award will be chosen by an online vote.

Editor Matthew Havercroft said:  “We are very proud to enter Discover Britain magazine for this prestigious award. We not only hope to win votes from our loyal readership, but to inspire many new readers along the way.”

BTA chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton added: “Discover Britain magazine is to be congratulated on reaching the voting stage of the prestigious British Travel Awards, the largest consumer voted awards programme in the UK.”
