Traveller will extend further into the Victorian market this Sunday with the launch of ‘Traveller on Sunday’ in The Sunday Age on August 21. The popular section bolsters the weekend reading experience in The Sunday Age and provides advertisers with an opportunity to reach a targeted, valuable and engaged travel-focused audience across NSW and Victoria.

“Advertisers now have a dual state NSW and Victorian travel offering on Saturday and Sunday, extending the existing audience of more than 2.7 million* each month across the Traveller print sections and Traveller.com.au,” Fairfax Media’s brands & audience director for Life Media, Jodie Smith, said.

“Traveller inspires, entices and informs, offering our audience the tools to turn their dreams into a reality and allows advertisers to connect with this highly valuable audience of educated and curious travellers who have the discretionary income to spend on quality travel experiences.”

‘Traveller on Sunday’ in The Sunday Age launches with a new Tip-O-Meter column which draws on readers to contribute their best tips, recommendations and latest travel discoveries.

Popular columns include ‘Everywhere Man’ with Ben Groundwater, ‘Cruise Director’ with Sally MacMillan, ‘Mama Holiday’ with Tracey Spicer, ‘The Tripologist’ with Michael Gebicki and ‘Deals’.

Fairfax Media’s national travel editor, Anthony Dennis, said, “I’m delighted that Traveller on Sunday has expanded its reach into Victoria via The Sunday Age.

“It completes our portfolio of firmly-established, respected and inspirational travel titles – Saturday Traveller in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, and Traveller on Sunday in The Sun Herald and now The Sunday Age, as well as, of course, Traveller.com.au. Launching in The Sunday Age is a little like that much desired far-off holiday – long-awaited but well worth the wait.”
