Coming closer to our decision...

We continue in our search and although we have all participated in exchanging ideas and giving our opinion it has become very difficult to reach a definitive agreement on the subject that we will use for our magazine.


For now, the three of us consider that the theme that most strikes us is Tourism, and personally I think this topic can be very interesting because it will allow us to know and make people know several places in depth.


So to get a better understanding of the types of tourism magazines that exist, I started my research...


A tourism magazine can be aimed at tourists or travelers as it provides details about a particular location or geographical area, a tourist destination or a particular itinerary. Usually including details of interest such as phone numbers, addresses, hotel prices and other accommodations, restaurant prices, main means of transport available, etc. Additionally there is detailed information about the cultural centers and activities of the area: museums, theaters, main monuments and tourist sites that can be visited. Sometimes this magazine may also contain historical and cultural information about the city, country or region.

There are several types of travel magazines that can focus on different aspects of travel, from adventure travel to relaxation travel or targeting travelers with higher or lower budgets. Others focus on the particular interests and concerns of certain social groups, such as lesbians and gays or couples. Similarly, there are visual guides that contain lots of images of the destination and others more focused on the practical information of the trip.




In addition, I have also been able to investigate that, according to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), tourism has experienced continuous growth for decades, making it one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. By the year 2017 the WTO is forecasting growth in arrivals of international tourists between 3% and 4%. Considering the growth of tourism, creating a magazine that guides tourists to know the cities can become a very profitable business.
