Bradt Guides – Traveling from the comfort of your sofa to better times
These are tough times for anyone with itchy feet. At Bradt, we see the situation for anyone who is traveling as a long postal alarm!
There’s no need to remind you of what a terrible time we’re all going through. Right now, as we’re stuck at home, the world feels smaller. But it’s not – it’s still out there, as big as ever.
And the The only certainty at the moment is that this too shall pass. The time will come when we venture out again. Perhaps still this year or in 2021, but it will come – and what now seems like an impossible distance away will be great and exciting.
But laying our cards on the table, we hope to enlist your help during these challenging months. Many industries are suffering, but none more than travel. As the only independent travel guide publisher among the top 5, without a parent company, we are fighting for our survival.
However, this is not a plea – This is a call for solidarity! We want to mobilize those who have used our books over the years. Those who appreciate the kind of travels we value, and who want to protect them as much as possible.
So if you are able to help at all, we ask for three things here:
First: Stay as outward-focused as you can. If we bend our knees, let’s push back the four walls by anticipating what’s on the other side. We provide you with all the material you need to.
Indulge in this wanderlust. Celebrate with us the shared love of travel, even if it comes from our armchairs.
Secondly, plan for 2021. We will be traveling again soon, so why not get ahead? If you have a dream trip in mind, research your ideal itinerary. If you have a trip booked for the coming weeks, consider whether you want to reschedule or cancel altogether.
Thirdly, please buy a Bradt guide! Is there a better way to pass the time than by reading a good book? And we are offering 50% off for the foreseeable future. Discount on all our titles. We offer travel guides to inform and inspire you, helping you plan your next adventure.
Explore our range of titles including books on slow travel in your region, epic expeditions, wildlife festivals in the UK and around the world, and activity guides to keep you from going stir-crazy.
Don’t miss out on these great deals! Visit our website now for more information. If you have an elderly relative or run a small business, then your priorities will be elsewhere. Our thoughts are with you; we hope you find a way.
But if you believe you can afford it, please buy a few books from Bradt during this lockdown, instead of waiting for it to be over. And please share this message with us. Only through the foresight of readers like you will we be able to publish guides when things return to normal.
Finally, we hope you can stay positive regardless of your situation.
All of us at Bradt are united in this matter.
Sending lots of love from all of us at Bradt.
