Voyages is a "vertical" media business that produces high quality programming on luxury travel and the lifestyle interests that are associated with travel. These interests include wellness, adventure, gourmet & wine, shopping, romance, and competition (diving, golf, skiing, etc).
Our focus is exclusively on the luxury traveller - an elite group of consumers with above average income, education and comfort with technology and thus an important segment for advertisers.
Our uniqueness is our focus on "transactional content" and distribution strategies. Our programming allows viewers the ability to purchase any of the travel experiences features in a program. We deliver this programming via digital television, VoD and most importantly via an advanced Internet site which incorporates social media tools and behavioral targeting.
