Sunset Travel Awards

MENLO PARK, CA (PRWEB) September 09, 2014 -- Sunset, the premier guide to living in the West, has announced its first-ever Sunset Travel Awards, honoring the West’s top destinations in lodging, dining, cultural tourism, outdoor adventure, environmental stewardship, and more. Since its founding in 1898 by the Southern Pacific Transportation Company, Sunset has established itself as the West’s most trusted source of travel information. The Sunset Travel Awards, which is currently open for entries, will help steer the magazine’s six million readers to the best destinations to match their taste, budget and interests.

In search of the West’s standout travel destinations, organizations and businesses, Sunset will issue awards in 33 different categories. Award entries can be submitted between now and October 31, 2014. Finalists for each category will be selected by Sunset editors and featured on Sunset.com on January 15, 2015. The winners from each category will be voted on by the Sunset Travel Awards Advisory Board, which includes a dozen distinguished travel professionals from across the West.
