An active travel article featuring Valencia, Spain in Healthy Aging® Magazine, targeting the active 45-year-old-plus audience, has been honored by a silver award in the 2018 NATJA Travel Media Awards Competition.

The North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) announced the winners of the annual NATJA Travel Media Awards Competition last week in California. Winners were selected from categories comprised of publications, travel journalists and photographers, and top destination marketing associations.
The competition, now in its 27th year, honors the “best of the best” in travel media.
“We are thrilled and honored to receive this award and to be included in such a stellar group of travel professionals,” says Carolyn Worthington, publisher of Healthy Aging®. “The 60+ traveler is becoming more vibrant every day as growing numbers of active adults seek enriching and interesting travel experiences and are not content to just go from meal to meal on vacation.”
The honored article features the region of Valencia, Spain with the active adult, specifically Gen-Xers and baby boomers, in mind.
“When people think of Valencia, they think of the city of Valencia, Spain,” Worthington said. “The approach of the article was to share insider tips on what to do in the region beyond the obvious. We included cooking classes, wine tastings, and, most unique of all, how to using a major cycling stage race such as La Vuelta d’Espana, as a focal point for a vacation.”
Other publications winning awards included The New York Times, Toronto Star, Air Canada En Route and AAA magazines. National Geographic Traveler was selected as the top travel magazine for a second year in a row.
The awards will be presented at the inaugural NATJA Awards Dinner on Friday, February 15, 2019 at the City Club in downtown Los Angeles. “The winners are a microcosm of the talent and journalistic excellence that encapsulates our industry leading members,” said Helen Hernandez, CEO, NATJA.
One first place (Gold) winner is chosen in each of the categories along with 2nd (Silver), 3rd place (Bronze) and Honorable Mentions. Works from September 2017 through August 2018 were eligible for an award or honor.
Other winners in the online publication 60+ category included articles published in Nomad Magazine and the Huffington Post.
Founded in 1991, NATJA is a travel journalism industry leader that fosters high quality journalism.
