International travel magazines writers' guidelines will usually stipulate what types of international writing the publication will accept. For instance, some international travel magazines have sections dedicated to international travel and culture, business travel abroad and traveling for students.
Writers' guidelines help authors determine whether the particular travel magazine is a good platform for their travel story or which format their travel story should be in for submission. For instance, some international travel magazines prefer photos of the location you're writing about. Others only accept stories that are written with a specific international angle such as world news, global luxury or world travel on a budget. Writers' guidelines for international travel magazines also tell you how much the magazine will pay for your story and which currency the payment is in.
International travel magazines often ask that writers use an international voice or worldwide perspective. This means that they should not make cultural or country-centered assumptions.
International travel magazines cater to a larger and more diverse audience than other travel magazines. For instance, the writer's guidelines for Go World Travel Magazine state: "More than half of our readers are Americans with incomes of $50k+, but readers also include English-speaking travel lovers from all over the world." For this reason, international travel magazine writers' guidelines will often require greater detail or offer specific guidance regarding detail while other travel magazines may not.
