PASADENA, CA – The North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) Annual Media Awards Competition entry period ends Monday, November 8th. All travel media (writers, photographers, video journalists) as well as destination marketing organizations (DMOs/CVBs) are invited to submit. “This is a wonderful way for travel media and destinations to promote themselves as ‘award winning,’” stated Helen Hernandez, CEO of the organization. “Distinctive marketing and promotion is key in this challenging economic climate.
