Announcement - Travel Combines With Holiday
Travel and Holiday Volume 57 Issue no. 1 - May 23, 1931
Beginning with this issue, Travel will be combined with Holiday. To its old readers and its new, Travel is delighted to announce an increase in its resources, a more diversified contents and a greater future. For more than a quarter of a century Travel has maintained its position as the leading magazine of its kind in the United States. Holiday, during the relatively short time that it has been published, has attracted thousands of readers who seek adventure and exhilaration "A-wheel, A-wing, A-float." The amalgamation of these two magazines will provide a continual source of delight to all who love travel, adventure and exploration.
The new Travel will continue to range the world for romance. The roadways of adventure will lead everywhere beginning with the wonderlands of our own America and following perilous trails winding far beyond the frontiers of the civilized world. We will fly with the swiftest airplanes; tour on motor cars and express trains; sail on ocean greyhounds, tramp steamers, vagrant yachts and Chinese sampans; ride with camel caravans and nomad horsemen; tramp with the African safari or jungle explorers; stroll along rural highways; watch the passing crowds on European boulevards; and bask beneath palms on tropical shores.
In text and pictures the new Travel will present a larger and more varied panorama of our world. It is vitally interested in what man does and what man creates. It will survey man's manifold activities the world over, whether they are revealed in the latest skyscraper which appears above the skyline of New York, or in the tents of the Kirghis nomads of the Pamir mountains.
We shall seek to find the "human interest" in the rapid tempo of modern life in both American and European capitals. We will give the most vivid accounts of the latest discoveries of archaeologists from the high Andes to the forests of Indo-China. We will print the most interesting records of the achievements of explorers, naturalists and adventurers.
Travel will continue to discover, and rediscover, the beauties of medieval churches, forgotten towns, the ruined cities of antiquity, and the innumerable wonders of the East. It will describe the vivacious life of the world's pleasure resorts and playgrounds, and the changes throughout the world which make this century so fascinating and so dramatic. Finally, Travel will seek adventures at home as well as abroad, making new discoveries from New England to the Southwest and from Puget Sound to Florida.
Travel's pages will be open to all those who have vital and interesting things to tell—and who know how to tell them. Among its contributors in recent years, Travel numbers such distinguished writers, travelers and explorers as Norman Douglas, the late D. H. Lawrence, Ameen Rihani, Lewis R. Freeman, Mrs. Carl Akeley, James L. Clark, Mrs. Sackville-West, J. B. Priestley, Thomas Burke, Phillip Guedalla, Paul Morand, Stefan Zweig, Sydney Greenbie, Carlton Beals, Anna Louise Strong, Earl Chapin May, Henry Albert Phillips, H. V. Morton and many others. All who travel and have something original to say are asked to contribute.
The former publishers of Holiday, who were identified with the American Automobile Association, will continue to cooperate with Travel. This means that Travel will have the support of an organization with a membership of nearly a million people. The equipment and knowledge of this organization will be added to the resources already possessed by the publishers of Travel, who have been among America's most prominent publishers of travel and guide books for twenty years.
Travel and Holiday—these two words will characterize the spirit of this publication.
It is a pleasure to ask our readers to set out with us for new adventures and new discoveries.
