ITB Book Awards 2022: The winners have been announced

Among the winners are the authors Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Fuchs, Prof. Christian Grataloup, Marianne Salentin-Träger and Rita Henss, Thomas Böhm, Peter Hinze, Boris Herrmann and Andreas Wolfers, Halldór Gudmundsson, Julian Sancton, Jaroslav Rudiš, Jörg Römer and Christoph Seidler, Dieter Richter, Christine Thürmer, Katharina Finke, Susan Tyler Hitchcock, Felix Neureuther with Bernd Ritschel and Michael Ruhland. The author Prof. Dr. Albrecht Steinecke and the Munich-based publisher Afrika-Verlag Ilona Hupe are being honoured with Lifetime Awards.

With its annual ITB Book Awards, ITB Berlin recognises publications from Germany and abroad, written mainly in German, but also in German translation. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic there will be no in-person ITB in Berlin this year. This affects the ITB Book Awards ceremony, which traditionally takes place every year in March at the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show. The awards are being presented nonetheless, and in 2022 ITB Berlin is again honouring outstanding literary and journalistic achievements with the aim of drawing international attention to a wide range of important travel and tourism publications. In 2022 the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show is again collaborating with Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels. The ITB Book Awards do not confer prize money.
