Condé Nast Traveller to launch in Germany

Part of the Condé Nast portfolio, Condé Nast Traveller is a luxury travel and lifestyle media brand providing inspiration and advice to travellers across the world. Condé Nast Traveller’s flagship properties include their annual Readers’ Choice Awards, Gold List and Hot List.

With a dedicated editorial team based in Munich, the publisher says Germany will join as the 8th owned and operated market for Condé Nast Traveller and is part of a larger strategy to expand Condé Nast’s market reach with its brands. Condé Nast Traveller was launched in the US more than 35 years ago; in autumn 2023, it launched an O&O edition in the Middle East. It also has O&O editions in the UK, Spain, Italy, India and China.

Condé Nast says the first print issue of Condé Nast Traveller Germany hits newsstands in autumn 2024. It will publish six issues per year accompanied by a digital and social media presence. The Munich-based editorial team will report to Divia Thani, global editorial director, Condé Nast Traveller, and work closely with the brand’s international editorial teams. More details on the German editorial team will follow soon.

“We are so excited to launch Condé Nast Traveller in Germany, which has always been such a vibrant and sophisticated travel market. Audiences here demonstrate a real passion for travelling the world, for authentic cultural experiences and making the most of their time away, whether it's a city or beach break, a wellness or adventure holiday. Partnering with our global network across seven countries, our new CNT Germany team will be dedicated to creating inspirational and informative content tailored to the German traveller. It also gives us a unique opportunity to create local stories here that we will be able to export across our international platforms, doing more to showcase Germany as a rich and unique destination for global travellers”, says Divia Thani, global editorial director, Condé Nast Traveler.

Andrea Latten, chief business officer, Condé Nast Germany, adds: “For Condé Nast Germany, the launch of Condé Nast Traveller is an exciting business opportunity that will allow us to tap into a new market segment and expand our target group. We are looking forward to reaching this milestone. It is an important signal to the market and for Condé Nast Germany.”

Condé Nast Traveller Germany is the fifth brand in the portfolio of Condé Nast Germany alongside AD Architectural Digest, GLAMOUR, GQ and VOGUE.
