Romance & Travel's Guide to Honeymoons and Weddings Away
With over two million weddings a year in the United States, and
with nearly all of these couples going on a honeymoon, there are
nearly 4 1/2 million new romantic travelers every year. Average
spending on a honeymoon outside the continental United States is
over $4,000. Average spending on a honeymoon within the 48 states
is over $2,000.
These are real travelers, spending real money: nearly $4 billion
dollars in real money. But reaching them effectively has been a
source of trouble for many hoteliers.
How do you best get information on your property into the hands
of this traveling-- spending--market?
The answer to that question will be clear with the June launch
of Romance & Travel's Guide to Honeymoons and Weddings Away,
which will reach the honeymoon market as no other bridal publication
has done before.
The latest of Turner Communications' travel publications, Romance
& Travel's Guide to Honeymoons and Weddings Away features resorts,
hotels, destinations, planning advice, and convenient checklists
for making the destination decision, planning and even packing for
the big trip. The book is distributed through paid subscription
to travel agents, paid newsstand circulation, in-room programs and
niche distribution to bridal shows, bridal registries and jewelry
stores across the country.
This combination of newsstand and niche distribution puts the publication
into the hands of the women and men who need it: recently engaged
couples and newly registered brides- and grooms-to-be. Romance &
Travel's Guide to Honeymoons and Weddings Away is the perfect vehicle
for honeymooners and the advertisers who want to reach them.
Romance & Travel's Guide to Honeymoons and Weddings Away provides
complete editorial coverage of the honeymoon and destination wedding
planning process, with travel tips and wedding requirements for
all the major romantic destinations. But it's the feature articles
on resorts and hotels, available on a per page basis, that constitute
the majority of the publication and help solidify the decisions
of honeymooners. The world's foremost experts on romantic travel
and honeymoons develop your feature, and your property is showcased
through beautiful four-color photography.
- Plus, if you purchase a feature of two pages or more, you'll
receive 500 courtesy copies that feature your hotel or resort
on the cover. These books are great for in-room or lobby use,
or you can sell them in the gift shop-and keep all the revenue!

as well as Romance & Travel's Guide to Honeymoons and Weddings
Away. For a complete media kit on this innovative program, please
