Kiwi Collection Launches Refreshed Wow Travel: a Digital Travel & Lifestyle Magazine


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA–(Marketwire – July 15, 2010) – To coincide with its new brand and website launch, Kiwi Collection has re-imagined WOW Travel as an inspirational travel and lifestyle publication for those looking to expand their horizons.

Continuing to stand as a trusted resource for discovering and booking the world’s most exceptional hotels, Kiwi Collection has set out to create a new industry standard with its updated web presence, brand — and now — a unique online publication.

Continuing the cinematic, image-heavy aesthetic of the Kiwi Collection website, WOW Travel is focused on travel, but not limited to the theme. Editor in Chief, Jim Tobler, and Editor at Large, Mary Gostelow, have assembled a team of in-house and international contributing writers to cover world culture in all its forms. This team includes distinguished restaurant designer Bob Puccini, and noted travel writer, Ted Botha, among others.

Jim Tobler says, “The re-invented WOW Travel leads readers on an exciting journey around the entire world, and is bursting with ideas and helpful information that make travel on any budget possible.”

Sections include Wining & Dining, Art & Style, Spa & Sport, News & Events, and Industry Insight. Inveterate traveler, Mary Gostelow, helms the latter section, digging deep into the international hotel world as only a select few can.

Editor at Large Mary Gostelow explains, “WOW Travel is the international, ahead-of-the-minute digital magazine for discerning travelers.”

In yet another feature, WOW Likes, the editorial team takes readers on a tour through an ever-growing, curated selection of their favorite products. From coach-built supercars and bespoke shoes, to hard-to-find furniture and must-have gadgets, WOW Likes lives on the front lines of style.

July’s WOW Travel articles include coverage of Youth Day in South Africa, and Alain Ducasse’s new restaurant at the St. Regis New York. In August, expect features focused on the definition of the modern Gastropub, authentic old-world style gelato, secret islands, and one of the world’s finest wine programs, at Blantyre.
