Introducing AFAR Media

Travel is changing. The world has grown smaller, more accessible, yet homogenized and less exotic. Today's travelers want to get beyond the superficial, the mass-produced, the mass-consumed, and the mass-experienced. They look for the authentic in people, places, and things. Introducing AFAR Media: for a different kind of travel.

In Pursuit of Passions

AFAR Media informs, inspires, and supports experiential travelers of all kinds, from those seeking cultural and educational experiences to those after adventure and geo-tourism. See a preview of AFAR Magazine, AFAR online, and our other products and platforms. Read about our mission, values and goals.

What is experiential travel? Experiences that connect you with the essence of a place and its people.

AFAR understands that simply seeing the sights is no longer enough. Experiential travelers want to venture beyond the beaten tourist paths and dive deeper into authentic, local culture, connecting with people from other cultures in ways that enrich their lives and create lasting memories.

The arts, architecture, and music. Cooking and food. Sports, adventure, and nature. Language, history, economics, and literature. Philanthropy and a desire to “give back.” More than ever before, people are traveling their passions.

All these interests are shaping the trips of a fast-growing segment of intelligent, independent, and passionate international travelers. Learn more about AFAR’s target audience (for advertisers).

The publication of the premier issue of AFAR Magazine in August 2009 and the planned launch of AFAR.com in spring 2010 have been generating news. For more background on AFAR Media, see About Us or read through our press releases.
