World Travel Guide 2027

Issue #70 – on sale December 2026

One guide. Every destination. The whole of 2027.


To help our readers plan their kiting adventures for 2027, TheKiteMag is publishing its World Travel Guide 2027 within Issue #70 this December.

Unlike our seasonal Travel Guides, the World Travel Guide is an overarching guide to destinations and travel opportunities around the world, giving readers inspiration wherever and whenever they are planning to travel throughout 2027.

The guide launches during the key December–March travel-planning period, including the important festive and New Year break, when riders are researching and booking their trips for the year ahead.

Gain editorial and advertising exposure for your business in both our print and digital magazine editions, plus 12 months of extended reach through a dedicated website page, social media promotion and featured spots in our e-newsletters.

World Travel Guide 2027


TheKiteMag is a trusted and highly targeted platform for connecting with the global kiting community, and there’s no better way to showcase your centre, resort, destination or travel business to a dedicated and engaged audience planning their next adventure.

Here’s how it works


We’ve bundled editorial and advertising into a cost-effective package that features in the world’s most widely read kiting publication, plus our high-traffic digital and social channels.

The World Travel Guide 2027 provides an overarching showcase of destinations across the globe, rather than focusing on a single season or travel window. Published in December, it reaches readers during the months when they are actively researching and planning trips for the year ahead.

Why December?


The World Travel Guide is published during the key December–March travel-planning window, when riders are researching destinations and making plans for the year ahead. The festive and New Year period is particularly important, with many readers using the winter months to research and book their next major trip. And because the guide covers all destinations and travel windows, your listing remains relevant throughout 2027.

Plan your 2027 travel campaign

Two publications. A rolling programme of destination guides.

The World Travel Guide provides an overarching showcase of destinations for the year ahead, while our seasonal Travel Guides give businesses additional opportunities to reach riders at key points in the travel-planning calendar.

Across TheKiteMag and Foiling Magazine, our Travel Guide programme provides a rolling platform for destinations, resorts, centres and travel businesses throughout the year.

Planning activity across several Travel Guides allows you to stay visible throughout the year and target different travel-planning windows. Once we’ve created your editorial and advert, updating them for future editions is straightforward – most partners simply refresh their imagery and key information, while we take care of the writing, design and production.
