Dreams of how the "leisure class" vacations, perhaps lives August 28, 2004
Erika Borsos (Gulf Coast of FL, USA)
12 out of 15 found this review helpful

This reader thoroughly enjoys the photos and articles about 'exotic' vacations in Europe, Asia, the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand] and Central or South America ... one can dream ... and possibly one day live the dream. One learns of vacations in out-of-the-way unique locales. For instance, in the July 2004 issue, there is a feature article on "Puglia' dubbed "the next Tuscany". There one can rent space in a 15th century convent or room at the most modern resort. In either case, one can taste the finest Italian cuisine, fresh food, grown and raised in the region. Another adventure which appeals to this reader is "perfume tours in Provence".

This reader is in love with Mayan ruins, so reading about how Richard Hansen, an U.C.L.A. archeologist, has worked for 25 years to excavate and preserve, El Mirador, one of the largest mayan cities, is of great value. This reader shares his dream to designate the region a national monument and turn it into a living outdoor museum. It would become a top tourist attraction, such as the Tikal National Park (Guatemala's most popular). Another fascinating article featured "Shanghai". Here one learns of where to shop for silk slippers and the beautiufl blue and white porcelain for which it is famous. A person can have designer clothes copied by tailors at huge savings ... The contrast of ancient and modern China is amazing. Going antique shopping would be most satisfying ... Featuring, Ming Tsai, a Chinese chef and owner of "The Blue Ginger" Restaurant in Massachsetts is quite the perfect ending to a wonderful magazine. He is often featured on PBS channels sharing his recipes and techniques for Chinese cooking. This reader enjoys every article and looks forward to each monthly issure. Highest recommendations.

Excellent magazine! I enjoy the articles and the photography is second to none. Travel+Leisure is a exciting magazine to read and is different that any other magazine on the stands. I am proud to display it on my coffee table it always gets picked up by visitors.

Lovely travel magazine. I am a restauranteur and travel mostly for inspiration in food. I enjoy that this magazine includes restaurants in it. But, it is truly great for anyone who likes to travel.

A lot of reviewers share similar views, as seen in the recurrence of similar criticism of today's magazines. What these complaints also have in common is that they can tend to be fairly uninformed in regard to certain issues. First off, we all know that T+L is for "affluent travelers." Read the publisher's description, and it will tell you just that. So if you're not an affluent traveler, then don't waste your money on T+L and stick to Budget Travel. T+L occassionally has "affordable" stories, especially in their affordable issue in March. But don't expect the hotels to be to be under $200 a night. You know why? Because nowadays under $200 a night means you're a step above a youth hostal, especially in Europe where you pay an extra 20% on top of every dollar with today's exchange rate. The point is that T+L never positioned itself as an affordable travel mag, so to criticize its shortcomings in that respect is an invalid complaint.

Anyone who claims the photography is blown out and out of focus hasn't picked up a copy of the magazine since 1999. Furthermore, if all you saw were straightforward photographs of hotel rooms, you'd go out of your mind with boredom. There's nothing wrong with adding a little art to your photography, after all photography is in fact art, and T+L does a pretty good job of that. And so what if there's a beautiful woman in the photo. No one's saying you have to look like her or promising that she'll be strewn across the bed in your hotel room. Use your imagination - this is travel photography in Travel + Leisure magazine - it ain't Newsweek. And with all of the other offensive problems with media today, only in America do people complain about too much skin.

Lastly, readers need to understand that magazines don't put in more ads for giggles. A magazine is a business, and ad revenue is THE way a magazine earns money. So the more ads they have, the more profit they have, the more money they have to pay better photographers and writers and hire more staff and do more research, etc, etc, etc. No magazine is going to choose to throw away money in order to not offend its readers with fewer ad pages. In fact, high ad content is an indication of a high circulation, which is an indication of reader satisfaction. The more people a magazine reaches, the more companies want to advertise there.

The fact of the matter is that there is no perfect travel magazine in existence. They are either too service heavy, or editorial fluff, or too scientific and adventure-y, or just a b-level publication. T+L has its shortcomings, it has its top whatever lists and there's a lot of high-end service in there. But it's stunning and has its share of well written and interesting articles.
