A Destination Guide

This year’s February issue is the 21st Annual Destination Guide. In addition to our normal distribution to hotels and information centers, this issue is mailed to Newspaper Travel Editors who in turn write blurbs in their Travel Sections. Readers then contact us for this issue which in turn broadens the exposure base for advertisers as the issue continues to be mailed out long after the cover date.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 21 years since printing the first Destination Guide. The first issue, and for several years after, was known as the Meeting & Planners issue.

This issue of Pittsburgh Point magazine is a very special issue. Of course, as publisher, I’ve always felt that about every issue. Later this spring, will mark the beginning of our 29th year.

Started in 1981 as a bi-monthly, Point(e) was originally distributed in hotels in the Monroeville area.

In 1983, an expansion took the magazine downtown and throughout Allegheny County.

Designed with the traveler and visitor in mind, it’s designed to be guest friendly, hence the digest size. I’ve frequently seen people around town carrying a copy of Point, using it as a personal guide. For some other publications, that’s not easy to do.

Whether you get your magazine this month in your hotel, at another distribution site, or receive Point through the mail months later, we hope you find this year‘s Destination Guide both interesting and helpful.

Whatever brings you to Pittsburgh, have a great visit. If you’re a visitor to Pittsburgh for the first time, welcome. And if you’ve been here before, welcome back.

Once again, welcome.
