National Geographic Traveler for the iPad
Readers can now download a free iPad version of the Russian edition of National Geographic Traveler, the world famous travel magazine. The app was made available from the App Store starting Feb. 20 and contains interactive navigation and bonus materials such as maps, videos and unique photographs.
National Geographic Traveler editor-in-chief Alexander Zheleznyak welcomed readers to the electronic version of the magazine with a video message. “The National Geographic brand turns 125 in 2013,” he said, “counting from the founding of the National Geographic Society. Throughout that time, the NG family of publications did more than just write about vacation destinations: It primarily acquainted people with the world. Each article we publish is full of new emotions and information. And most importantly, NG Traveler shows how you can fulfill your dreams.”
The new issue of National Geographic Traveler features the top 25 tours of the year: readers are invited to track rhinos in Namibia, go wine-tasting in New Zealand, scale a glacier in Iceland, learn to bake bread in Romania, roam through villages in Nepal, spot an Azores bullfinch and visit a slave traders’ fortress in Ghana.
