OutThere is an award-winning luxury and experiential travel journal rooted in diversity, discovery and discernment. We specialise in curating exclusive global travel and travel-related content, from in-depth, first person essays on the world's most exciting destinations, hotels, resorts and unique experiences – taking our readers on journeys that extend far beyond tourism – to celebrating the cultural expressions specific to the places we visit. OutThere readers are made up of an affluent community of high net-worth men with the disposable income to enjoy unique travel-related luxuries. Though launched as an LGBT+ publication, we never create boundaries to our readers’ sexuality – our printed journal, digital offering, social media and curated events appeal to the men of distinction that they are first, with the understanding that our readers desire a different kind of intellectual stimulation to that offered by mainstream titles. OutThere Publishing is also the first of its kind bespoke LGBT+ specialist content creation and LGBT+ brand management consultancy, primarily working with travel brands. Clients include VisitSweden, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Stockholm LGBT, Illinois Office of Tourism, Visit West Hollywood and Belmond, to name a few. Initially launched as a niche publication in 2010, at a time when print magazines were declared over, we beat out several industry powerhouses at the 2018 Travel Media Awards, being named ‘Publication of the Year’.
