«Travel+Leisure» is probably the most famous American magazine about travel, leisure and recreation, it has been published since 1936. At first it was called «U.S. Camera and Travel» and was dedicated to photojournalism and travel photography, but soon its concept changed. The magazine is aimed primarily at well-off, active and independent tourists who want to take the initiative and learn something new.
The basis of «Travel+Leisure» has always been detailed tourist routes based on detailed and verified information. The main consultants were well-known personalities, celebrities and experienced travelers, on the basis of whose reports recommendations were made. Using this magazine, the tourist could use it as a personal guide, without doubting the relevance of the information. Another important feature of the magazine is its various ratings (attractions, hotels, restaurants, etc.). In recent years, with the development of the Internet, the magazine's popularity has significantly decreased.
Since 2000, the magazine has reached the international level, and its regional offices have been opened in many countries of the world: Australia, India, China, Mexico, Turkey. Almost all of them were soon closed due to unprofitability.
