Bradt receives MBE

Monday, 16 Jun, 2008 0
Travel guide publisher Hilary Bradt has received the MBE for services to the tourist industry and charity.
 
She was included in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

The honour acknowledges Bradt’s achievements in opening up new destinations and encouraging responsible tourism.

 
Bradt Travel Guides published the first dedicated guides to countries such as Vietnam, Madagascar, Tanzania and Uganda.
 
Guides to contemporary post conflict destinations such as Bosnia & Herzegovina and in particular Rwanda have been credited with playing a pivotal role in re-starting the countries’ ecotourism industries. Recently Bradt published the first guide to Congo for over ten years.

As patron of the British charity Money for Madagascar, which receives 10% of her royalties, she has been active in encouraging tourists to get involved with charities in the country.
