Magazine genre research - Travel

Travel magazine brands sometimes branch out and show off different aspects of locations that aren't strictly about the location or attractions of such locations, when these brands branch out sometimes they will dedicate the topic to topics such as food. Food and travel magazines are lesser known but very similar in nature to the typical travel magazine, differing only in the fact that it highlights the different kinds of foods found in either one or multiple locations. The cover of these magazines tend to show off a food item while also showing a picture of the location being covered. The magazine I looked at, added on here, places focus on the dishes placed in the center along with the beach background, again putting the title and other cover information mostly to the side and out of focus. The information inside the magazine also focuses more on the food, rather than the location it comes from, mainly giving reviews of the food, background information on the food, where it is served around the world, along with other general information and sometimes describing a little bit of the location from which the food is served although this is most of the time used as a way to show why the food item is made the way it is or why it came into creation/popularity. The ads in the magazine i looked through also tended to be a mix of normal ads and ads focused on the location being featured with examples such as providing different restaurants to eat at, coupons, etc.

Id probably try to advertise my product through social media platforms similarly to this magazine.

National Geographic Travel is an even smaller part of this large conglomeration of companies that has been published since 1984 and publishes 8 issues per year.
