WINTER PARK, Fla. � Aug. 28, 2007 � Jay Nelson, group publisher
for the travel division of Bonnier Corporation, today announced that the
company is reinvesting in and relaunching its premier luxury travel publication
Resorts & Great Hotels. Known as the connoisseur�s guide to the world�s
best hotels and resorts, the magazine will relaunch in January 2008 as
a quarterly publication with integrated editorial content for the first
time in the magazine�s history.
�The luxury segment of the hospitality industry continues to expand and we wanted to evolve Resorts & Great Hotels to meet consumer demands, as well as the needs of our four and five star hotel partners,� said Nelson. �Many customers view the publication as a wish book of vacation experiences. Now we are going to deliver these experiences more often with fresh editorial content about the luxury resort lifestyle.� After more than 20 years of presenting four and five star quality marketing partners such as The Plaza in New York City, The Inn on Biltmore Estate, Sundance Resort, The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, La Quinta Resort & Spa and many others in an annual directory format, the publication is evolving to offer participating hotels a more consumer focused sales and marketing option. Quarterly Themed Magazines
Addition of Editorial Content
�We are keeping the featured profiles that our readers and marketing partners love, but expanding to be more of an authority on the luxury resort lifestyle,� said Nelson. �The editorial content is designed to welcome readers to a private club and the editorial serves as the concierge at that club with insider knowledge and advice. The editorial is created to propel readers into the rest of the magazine to select their next trip from the featured collection of resorts and hotels.� Resorts & Great Hotels consistently ranks among the top performing travel titles in the industry. More than 100,000 copies of the publication will be distributed quarterly. The magazine is available at bookstores such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, B.Dalton, Waldenbooks and select airport newsstands.
