The Unseen Potential

The personal accounts of those in National Geographic Traveler magazine experience cultures different from a persons own and

show exploration to places around the globe which really provides our readers with the

inspiration to travel and have an open mindset to exploring.

We have recorded a high concentration of our readers when asked the question “When

traveling, comfort and service are worth paying for” responded Definitely Agree.

According to a 2015 Airbnb SummerTravel Report, It was reported that millionsof guests had the chance to have a unique,

local travel experience in communities all around the world thanks to their Airbnb

stay. While also meeting and being exposed to community members they never would have

encountered if they stayed in traditional accommodations.

Why we would partner to begin with

Demographics of Users AlignAs a publication that attracts a younger and more affluent reader base the appeal that Airbnb brings to guests is a new spin on something conventional like temporary accommodations while traveling. If we were able to present readers the awareness about what goals Airbnb has as a company, it would most likely appeal to the reader base we have considering the travelers who use Airbnb are on average 35 years old, and 54% of the guests were women and 46% were men. This break down of repeat guests of Airbnb aligns with the demographics of are subscribed readers of NG magazine. Over half (~52%) are between the ages of 18-44, 54% are men, and 46% are women.

The Breakdown and Advantages of Partnership With the Quality of National Geographic Travelers the

research we have conducted proves that measures and standards we hold for the type of content at we present in

our magazine issues is held with high regards.

It is reported from frequent readers that:• Nearly one-third of all readers believe advertising to be

more credible just because it is in National Geographic Traveler

• 79% visited web sites mentioned in the magazine • 71% save their issue for future reference • 78% do not read any other major travel title • 29% are more likely to purchase a product just because it

appeared in the magazine

Advertising is a Strength of Ours

As a National Magazine we know that variations occur across geographical

lines and that is why issues and advertisement can be included in the

National Copy, an East of the Mississippi River Edition, and a West of

the Mississippi River Edition.

A worthy mention also is that since the arrival of the Pope, the DNC and other

national events. Philadelphia is Airbnb’s fastest growing market in the entire country, and across hundreds of

Airbnb host destinations around the world. Our Magazine

Facebook Sponsored Posts The Facebook page would be a great

why to expose the Airbnb company to potential guests. Sponsored advertisements have nice detail and would be supported by travel topics discussed in the current issue of the magazine.
