Dear Colleagues,

For the first time, we introduce regular updates for each Yearbook Edition. These add-on center sections allow us to provide post event reports, global partnership pofiles, personal interviews. and event photos. Some issues will include the official ATA Members Directory.

Africa Travel Magazine is a powerful, positive, influential media voice - in print, online and on air. We're foremost in delivering the "good news" about Africa to our travel, trade and tourism colleagues - a success record verified by #1 rankings on Google, Yahoo and MSN for many Africa topics.

While our magazine's uplifting message has targeted North America since 1995, we're also active in Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. Our creative online strategy extends Africa Travel Magazine's reach and frequency. This gives advertisers a 12 month bonus and adds extra circulation via free downloads of complete editions.

Another pillar is our year round appearance at many top travel shows on four continents. What's more, like National Geographic, our editors create and design each issue as a "keeper." That's why it's not uncommon for ATA exhibits to display and distribute copies published 5 or more years ago. We keep a large and varied inventory or magazines in our warehouse for that purpose. Africa Travel is more than just a magazine, it's a way of life!

Best Wishes,


Jerry W. Bird, Editor
ATA Chapter President
