Morris Media's international expansion continues after the media giant's acquisition of Where Magazines Australia and Vacations & Travel magazine.

From the Jul/Aug/Sept 2015 edition, Vacations & Travel magazine has increased its print from 33,000 copies to 40,000 copies per quarter, effectively enhancing its position as Australia's longest running and highest circulating travel magazine.

Additional printed copies are now on sale in retail New Zealand outlets and airside within airports.

In Fiji, 2,000 copies are being distributed into 4- and 5-star resort guest rooms with an estimated 8,000-targeted Australian increase in readership.

Morris Media USA will print an additional 10,000 copies of our Oct/Nov/Dec 2015 edition as a soft launch into the USA, via direct mail and select retail outlets.

Morris Media CFO, Dennis Kelly says: “I believe the Vacations & Travel Australian edition's masthead is the perfect fit for the USA market. Newsstands in the USA will be enhanced by our new title's next edition and we look forward to an even stronger presence in the future.”

The Vacations & Travel Arabic edition (under licence with Lulua Publishing Dubai) is now in its fifth year and is firmly established as the top selling Arabic regional travel magazine.

Morris Media Network will also renew and refresh the current website vacationsmag.com in October of 2015, in time for the USA launch edition.

Anthony Gallagher previous owner and now Editor-in-Chief of Vacations & Travel magazine states: “After 16 years of witnessing Australia's growing thirst for travel, it's an amazing reward to see the publication grow well beyond our original Australian base. We now inspire readers in many countries and that's very gratifying.”

The July-August-September issue of Vacations & Travel is out now at newsagents.
