Welcome to the winter edition of Vacations and Travel, Australia's longest running and one of the highest circulating travel magazines (CAB Audit).  

This issue covers dream destinations and experiences including the magical fairy chimneys and underground cities of Cappadocia, the spectacular Petra in Jordan, cruising the fjords of Greenland and the joys of being in Finnish Lapland in the winter. We also visit the Western Front for a sobering look at our past, and show how to enjoy the snow – whether you ski or not – at Jackson Hole in Wyoming, The Arlberg region in Austria, Mammoth Lakes in California and in the shadows of the Jungfrau in Switzerland.

We turn on the romance with a look at Fiji for weddings and/or honeymoons, read all about the people who have spent millions developing art and culture in Dallas and Fort Worth, learn about the costumbristas in Havana, Cuba, find out how Vang Vieng in Laos has reinvented itself, and explore Kraków in Poland, a hot destination right now.

Also in this issue:

* A Rhine cruise with Avalon Waterways

* Dream Cruises in Asia

* A taste of Disney during Pixar Fest

* We meet Andrew Clark from Hong Kong Tourism

* Flight reviews on United, Etihad and Emirates

* Hotel reviews 

* How to help Save the Bears in Cambodia

This issue is packed full of essential holiday ideas and information, with our team of respected writers travelling far and wide to present informative and beautiful stories on destinations the world over. We also update readers on the latest news in spas, hotels, cruising, dining and on ways to give back through travel in our global village. 

PLUS: One lucky Vacations & Travel subscriber will win a three-day experience at the luxurious Jamala Wildlife Lodge in Canberra with giraffes and lemurs as neighbours. 

That is just a taste of what readers will find in our glossy pages to inspire their next vacation.
