Travel and Hospitality (TnH Global)
Travel and Hospitality — known as TnH — is a monthly corporate travel magazine published from New Delhi. Launched in 2010, it has established itself as one of the most respected and influential voices in the Indian travel industry, serving the business-to-business travel trade with news, reports, analysis and perspectives on airlines, tourism boards, travel agencies, tour operators, airports, hotels, technology providers and transport companies. It is published by DU Global and distributed through its website tnhglobal.com.
Launched in 2010
TnH was launched in India in 2010 to provide a briefing on travel trends, businesses, destinations and more. The timing was significant: Indian aviation was expanding rapidly, the hotel pipeline was filling, outbound travel from India was accelerating, and the travel trade needed a professional business publication that treated travel as an industry rather than a leisure pursuit. Despite being a print-first brand even today, TnH has continued to grow its audience by telling original, insightful and inspiring stories of modern businesses and people from the travel industry — a commitment that, in the publisher's words, has proved there is a place for a print brand devoted to its readers, advertisers and collaborators.
More than a decade and a half on, the magazine describes itself as one of the most respected and influential voices in the industry — a standing earned through consistent trade coverage rather than consumer lifestyle content.
A Monthly Corporate Travel Magazine
TnH is explicitly a business publication, aimed at giving its readers a definite edge in their business by providing media, insights, marketing and facilitation to all sectors of travel. Each edition is packed with news, reports, analysis and perspectives covering the full value chain: airlines, tourism boards, travel agencies, tour operators, airports, hotels, technology providers, transport companies and their executives. The editorial formula blends hard trade news — route launches, hotel openings, appointments, policy changes — with interviews, success stories and analytical features on where the industry is heading.
The magazine's sections map the trade's structure: Top Stories for the month's biggest developments, Interviews with industry leaders, Hospitality for the hotel business, Travel Trade for the agency and operator community, Transport, Government, Destinations, and a Diplomat's Corner covering the tourism diplomacy of embassies and national tourist offices. Weekly newsletter coverage extends the monthly's agenda with breaking news and analysis from around the world.
Readers and Controlled Circulation
The magazine is available exclusively by circulation and reports a viewership of over 42,000 readers. The controlled-circulation model — distribution to a qualified database of trade professionals rather than open newsstand sale — is standard in business-to-business publishing: it guarantees advertisers that every copy reaches a decision-maker. The readership spans the industry's buying and selling sides: travel consolidators, online travel companies, travel agents, tour operators, hotels, airlines, national tourist offices, corporate travel departments, meeting planners, incentive houses, business travel influencers, technology providers, embassies, and international and state tourism boards, as well as the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
This is the audience that moves India's travel economy — the people who contract hotel allotments, negotiate airline deals, design tour products and set tourism policy. A monthly that reaches them all functions as the trade's professional forum.
The Weekly Newsletter
Between monthly issues, TnH's weekly newsletter delivers breaking news, features and analysis from around the world to the Indian travel industry. It reaches a database of over one lakh (100,000) contacts across the trade — a reach more than double the print readership, reflecting how digital distribution has extended the magazine's influence. The newsletter format suits the pace of travel news: airline schedule changes, fare moves, hotel openings, visa policy shifts and event announcements, all of which reward weekly rather than monthly attention.
Special Issues for Global Travel Events
TnH publishes special issues for major travel and tourism events around the world: WTM (World Travel Market), ITB Berlin, ITB Asia, ATM (Arabian Travel Market), PATA events, FITUR, IT&CM, ILTM, MITT, ITE, SATTE, TAAI, IATO, TAFI, TTF, OTM, GITB, state tourism marts and more. These show dailies and event specials are a staple of travel trade publishing: they are distributed at the exhibitions themselves, putting the magazine — and its advertisers — directly into the hands of buyers and sellers at the industry's principal marketplaces. The practice also signals the magazine's international orientation: TnH covers the Indian trade's engagement with the world, from Berlin to Dubai to Singapore.
The Travel & Hospitality Awards
The magazine runs the Travel & Hospitality Awards, an annual programme honouring excellence across the industry on the basis of readers' and reviewers' choice. The awards span categories across airlines, hospitality, travel services and tourism boards. In 2016, for example, Vistara was honoured as the Most Outstanding Airline in Premium Economy & Economy — an award the airline's leadership described as an endorsement from a credible publication, noting that it recognised the team's work in redefining the flying experience in India. Industry awards programmes like this one serve a dual function: they generate editorial content and events, and they deepen the publication's relationships with the industry's leading companies.
TnH Events Since 2014
Since 2014, TnH has worked with clients that want to reach the largest user base of India's travel industry decision-makers to host bespoke events. Through roadshows, conferences, symposiums and networking cocktails, TnH helps its international and domestic clients promote travel products and services to the Indian market. The events business is a natural extension of trade publishing: the magazine's database, brand and editorial authority become the platform on which tourism boards, hotel chains and technology companies meet Indian buyers. For a B2B publisher, events also diversify revenue beyond print advertising and sponsorships.
The Editorial Team
TnH's core team consists of travel professionals and journalists with over thirty years of rich and cumulative experience in the tourism industry, supplemented by experienced correspondents throughout the country. This structure — a compact core of industry veterans plus a national correspondent network — is designed to ensure that each edition reflects the needs of readers across the country, from the metro headquarters of airlines and hotel chains to the regional markets where much of India's travel is actually sold. The team's professional background in travel, rather than general journalism, gives the magazine its trade credibility: its writers understand yield management, contracting seasons, and the difference between a consolidator and a tour operator.
Publisher: DU Global
The magazine is published by DU Global, which presents TnH Magazine as its flagship travel and hospitality media brand. The publisher describes the magazine as print-first even today — a deliberate positioning in an era when many trade titles have gone digital-only — while continuing to grow its audience through original, insightful storytelling about the industry's businesses and people. The DU Global umbrella connects the magazine to a wider set of digital and media capabilities serving the travel sector.
The Digital Presence: tnhglobal.com
The magazine's website, tnhglobal.com, carries the full breadth of its journalism: top stories, interviews, hospitality features, travel trade news, transport, government and destination coverage. Recent front-page stories illustrate the range: the announcement of the 69th TAAI Convention in Kolkata, Nok Air's return to India via Hyderabad, Kerala Travel Mart crossing three thousand buyer registrations, interviews with hospitality leaders on data-driven revenue growth and sustainable hospitality, and features on destinations from Sharjah to Taiwan. The site's archive runs to hundreds of pages of author posts, documenting the Indian travel industry's evolution since the magazine's 2010 launch — a searchable record of a decade and a half of trade history.
An Institution of the Indian Travel Trade
Sixteen years after its launch, Travel and Hospitality occupies a distinctive position: a print-first monthly in a digital age, a controlled-circulation trade title with a mass newsletter reach, and a publisher that is also an events organiser and awards body. Its influence rests on a simple proposition — that the Indian travel industry needs a professional business publication written by people who understand the trade, delivered to the people who run it. In an industry where relationships drive revenue, TnH has made itself one of the rooms where those relationships are formed.
