Postcards’ Spring 2026 issue out now, featuring Barbados, Hawaii, Charleston and Queenstown

The Spring 2026 issue of Postcards, the award-winning magazine for the Travel Leaders Network, has launched with a striking new look and a globe-spanning line-up of inspiring destinations.

The 92-page edition introduces a refreshed cover design, unveiling a cleaner, more sophisticated visual identity with clearer signposting — a bold evolution for the much-loved publication.

Inside, readers can explore the multifaceted culinary landscape of Hawaii; discover the romantic allure of Barbados; experience the adventure capital of Queenstown, New Zealand; and sail through the history-rich Adriatic and Ionian seas on a Celebrity Cruises voyage.

The issue also highlights how to spend the perfect weekend in Charleston, South Carolina, a historic city home to a bevy of bars, art galleries and sandy beaches; where to find the best pizzerias in Naples, Italy; and how to learn more about Japan’s fascinating history of knifemaking.

Farida Zeynalova, editor, said: “This is such an inspiring issue of Postcards — the cover makes me want to head straight to the glittering shores of Croatia for an extended break. I also really enjoyed Sarah Burchard’s take on Hawaiian cuisine and Petrina Darrah’s guide to the natural beauty of Queenstown.”

Alongside the absorbing features, stunning photography and comprehensive destination guides, readers can find special offers from the travel agencies represented by the Travel Leaders Network. Read the digital version of the Spring 2026 issue here.
