About ITN

International Travel News was an invaluable trip-planning aid for high-frequency travelers from March 1976 to April 2022. Printed monthly in a black-and-white newsprint format, ITN was both a news source and communication medium for travelers to destinations outside of the United States.

Covering everything from budget to luxury travel for everyone from independent adventurers to people who enjoyed tours, each issue presented travelers’ experiences, candid evaluations and advice as well as timely travel news and information on such things as tours, flights and cruises. Each issue also included a selection of columns on various travel subjects from a cadre of Contributing Editors.

Largely reader written, ITN printed letters and articles from its subscribers only. ITN readers looked out for each other, warning of travel scams and tourist traps as well as sharing travel tips and recommendations of hotels, restaurants, shopping, etc.

The names and addresses of ITN subscribers and of those requesting sample copies of ITN were not released to any other firm. Your privacy was respected.

Anyone who wished to experience International Travel News for himself or hersel could simply request a free sample copy of the next-printed issue.

ITN was an independent magazine and had no corporate affiliation with any firm in the travel industry. Items in ITN did not necessarily represent the position or opinion of the magazine or its editors. An attempt was made to insure that all published items were accurate.
