New Zealanders are the
world’s greatest travellers.

Now we have something to read.

Welcome to Inspire, New Zealand’s favourite travel magazine. Launched in April 2007, Inspire is made for Kiwis by Kiwis. Inspire is published quarterly and is on sale now in most good bookshops and supermarkets. Take a look at what it offers – every issue has pages of gorgeous photography, a bonus supplement and great travel writing from some of the country’s best travel writers and photographers.

Inspire is not only New Zealand’s largest circulating travel magazine, it’s officially New Zealand’s most beautiful. At the 2009 New Zealand Magazine Awards, held 25 June, Inspire was awarded Magazine of the Year and Editor of the Year and was highly commended in Cover of the Year (all in the custom publishing category).

The awards are well-deserved recognition from our peers and confirms what many of our readers have already been telling us. We’re really proud of the design and the high quality editorial of Inspire. It truly lives up to its mandate of inspiring New Zealanders to travel in the way they love to.

As inquisitive, independent spirits, Kiwi travellers like to get off the beaten track and find out what’s just around the next corner.
