Initially published in 1937 as U.S. Camera and Travel, the magazine later assumed the name Travel + Leisure in 1971. The predecessor titles focused on travel photography, but the name change signaled a shift toward travel coverage in general.
The magazine specializes in leisure travel and often features articles written by novelists, poets, artists, designers and non-travel journalists. It is known for its travel photography and covers featuring models lounging in upscale environments.
Its World's Best Awards, an annual reader survey rating airports, cities, cruise ships, hotels and islands have been announced every August since 1995. Votes added by the magazine's readers are taken into consideration to recognize and give out the awards. Other annual features include the T+L 500, a list of the world's top 500 hotels, and America's Favorite Cities, where readers rank U.S. cities in different categories.
Travel + Leisure magazine was purchased from American Express Publishing by Time Inc. (which would later be acquired by Meredith Corporation) on October 1, 2013.

We are glad to recognize meaningful achievements in several key areas.
Last year, we reached our previous water withdrawal goal six years ahead of projection. Accordingly, we have reset our new goal to reduce water withdrawal by 35% by 2025. In addition to our goal to reduce carbon emissions by 40%, we will establish a waste diversion goal by 2022. We are also mapping out the strategy to support our intention to reach 20% renewable energy consumption by 2030, which includes our latest progress leveraging artificial intelligence to manage the strain on local electricity grids.
2020 proved to be a transformative year worldwide. The effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic prompted our team to deliver agile, responsive engagement with our stakeholders around the world. Through our We’ll Be Ready return-to-work plan, we prioritized the safety and wellbeing of our associates, owners, members, and guests, while continuing to deliver on our mission: to put the world on vacation. In 2021, we continue to navigate the evolving impact of the global health crisis, while resuming operations safely.
In June of 2020, we responded to the heightened global awareness of systemic racism and racial inequities with our commitment to Listen, Learn, and then Act. We set a goal to increase diverse representation at the Director-and-above level across the organization. Our focus on strengthening stakeholder engagement includes an emphasis on increasing diverse voices, including the re-ignition of our Global Inclusion & Diversity Council and the worldwide expansion of associate-centric Diversity Resource Groups. Additionally, we continue to prioritize community engagement across the organization, most recently championing the youth of Central Florida through the new Travel + Leisure Eatonville Scholarship Program.
While our company name has changed, our beliefs remain steadfast: with hospitality and responsible tourism at the heart of all we do, we bring out the best in people and places around the globe. I am confident that our business will continue to grow and evolve responsibly and I look forward to sharing news of our progress in the years to come.
