Travel magazine deadpool: Caribbean Travel + Life shutters, folds some staff into Islands

  • Skift Take
    This is going to be a rough winter for travel mags. Budget Travel looks to be on its last legs, and even stalwarts such as Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure are looking as thin as the models on their pages.

    Bonnier Corporation’s Caribbean Travel + Life magazine will cease publication beginning next year. Additionally, its Discovery Channel television program will also cease production.

    “As part of this initiative, Islands will increase its frequency to 10x, while Caribbean Travel + Life ceases publication after its Jan./Feb. 13 issue,” an internal announcement from the company says. “By blending content, staff, resources, audiences and business opportunities formerly split between Islands and Caribbean Travel + Life, the Islands brand will be better positioned to compete aggressively and earnestly within all travel segments worldwide.”
