The Tried & Tested reviews continue this issue with first-person write-ups of new hotels, cruise ships, airline flight reviews and restaurants.

Owned and published by US-based Morris Media Network, publishers of the international in-bound Where Traveler title, Vacations & Travel has wide distribution across key visitor destinations in 4- and 5-star hotel rooms across Australia allowing a massive readership in these locations. Other distribution points include airports, newsagents and a dedicated subscriber base.

The net distribution of Vacations & Travel is 40,000 copies per issue, giving the title the highest distribution of any travel magazine in Australia. This quarter, Morris Media Network has taken the deliberate step to move to a readership audit through Enhanced Media Metrics Australia (EMMA) – powered by global research experts Ipsos and Nielsen, which measures print and digital total audience and is the system used by a number of mainstream publications including Australian Gourmet Traveller, Australian Geographic, Delicious,

MINDFOOD, Readers Digest Australia and Vogue Australia. The Vacations & Travel audit is currently underway and official statistics will be available in May. 

The magazine's website, vacationstravel.com, has been rebuilt to be more in synergy with the new print design. The weekly EDM has also been redesigned with a modern new look, making its way to 24,500 subscribers each week. 

The winter issue of Vacations & Travel will have a 'Culture' theme, and will go on sale in late June.
