Media Kit

The premier home for travel planning on the internet.

destination.com is where active travelers discover, plan, and book real trips. Our domain is our first advantage. Our audience is our second. Our editorial standard is our third.

Audience

Our reader arrives with intent. They are planning a specific trip, comparing destinations, or researching flights and hotels — not passively scrolling. They value editorial voice, honest recommendations, and premium execution over listicle churn. It is exactly the intent state where premium travel products convert.

What we cover

Destination guides

Long-form, evergreen editorial coverage of the world's most-searched destinations.

Community itineraries

Reader-and-editor built trip plans — day by day, with real hotels, restaurants, and routes.

The Newsletter

A weekly dispatch of the trips worth taking, the deals worth catching, and the destinations quietly having a moment.

Partnership formats

Rate card available on request. All partnerships are editorially vetted — we work with brands, agencies, tourism boards, and affiliate networks whose products fit what we would recommend to our own subscribers.

Newsletter partnerships

One labelled sponsor block in each Thursday Dispatch, with a per-issue report of delivered emails, unique clicks and click rate.

Sponsored destination features, branded itineraries, and long-form co-created content with dedicated URLs and evergreen SEO life.

Display & native

Premium display placements and native content units across destination and itinerary pages. High-viewability formats available for premium partners.

Custom & data

Bespoke content programs for hotel groups, airlines, and DMOs. Travel-intent audience insights and co-branded lead-gen funnels available on request.

Newsletter sponsorship

Each Thursday Dispatch carries at most one sponsor block, set in the same place every issue and labelled “Sponsored · Paid partner”. You supply a headline (up to 90 characters), a note (up to 320, plain text) and one link; our editors may ask to change copy that would not fit a travel reader. The link goes through our own redirect so we can count the clicks. Subscribers who are Dispatch+ members see the block too. The Sunday Read carries no sponsors. After your issue we send delivered emails, unique readers who clicked and the click rate. We do not report open rates, because Apple Mail inflates them. Reach is the current mailable list and is shared on request with the date it was counted; price is on request.

Ideal partners

Airlines, hotel and resort groups, cruise lines, luxury tour operators, destination marketing organizations, premium credit card issuers, travel insurance, luggage and gear, and lifestyle brands with travel-adjacent audiences.

We are editorially selective. We do not run offers we would not recommend to a friend planning a trip.

Editorial standard

  • —No AI-cadenced copy. Everything reads as if written by someone who has actually been there.
  • —Sponsored content is always disclosed.
  • —Recommendations reflect real research and real editorial judgment. No pay-to-place hotels in "best of" lists.
  • —Affiliate links carry the same standard as editorial — we only link products we would send our own subscribers to.
