Traveler Fast Facts

National Geographic Traveler is the world's most widely read travel magazine. In every issue, Traveler takes 5.7 million readers on thrilling journeys to the world’s “must-see” destinations. For the well-traveled who seek the ultimate travel experience, Traveler offers an inside look at faraway places—and practical information and an insider perspective to help you get there.

EDITORIAL

National Geographic Traveler marries the tradition, experience, and knowledge of the National Geographic Society with a modern emphasis of serving the 21st-century traveler. We give readers more of what they want in a travel magazine:

More “insider” perspective

More emphasis on travel essentials

More expert insight

More storytelling from the world’s finest writers

More arresting pictures from the top photographers

All of this in a magazine that inspires readers to get up and go. All of this from an organization that has been traveling the globe for more than 110 years.
