It is put out by American Express Publishing, which also publishes Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure Golf, Travel + Leisure Family, and Departures magazines.

Initially published in 1971, it was called Travel & Camera from 1969 to 1971, and prior to that it was called U.S. Camera and Travel. These first titles focused more on travel photography, but the name change signaled a shift towards travel coverage in general. The editor-in-chief is Nancy Novogrod.

The magazine specializes in leisure travel and often features articles written by novelists, poets, artists, designers and non-travel journalists. It is known for its travel photography. Its World’s Best Awards, an annual reader survey rating destinations and travel providers, have been announced every August since 1995.
