		Launched in 1935, Hotel & Restaurant is the leading monthly business magazine for the accommodation, food and alcoholic beverage industries, providing credible information to decision-makers in the Southern African hospitality industry. Its highly regarded editorial content communicates information relevant to various sectors such as hygiene, cost control, technology, equipment, marketing, management and more. This synergy ensures advertisers’ marketing message reaches the right audience, while readers are exposed to the latest products and services. Recognising that Africa remains a key growth area for local and international tourism businesses, Hotel & Restaurant publishes three Africa-focused issues a year, offering advertisers a greatly expanded audience and new avenues to promote their products. As the media partner for Hostex, the hospitality and catering expo, H&R dedicate its March 2010 issue to the show, more than doubling the normal print run so that all 12 000 anticipated visitors receive a copy.

		The recently launched Hotel & Restaurant website carries daily news updates across its 14 platforms, covering areas ranging from restaurants, the environment and people to corporate social responsibility, the government and legal and training issues. Every item posted offers the opportunity for feedback – the website is designed to build a strong community though its focus on forums. Also available are back issues of the magazine and the annual Buyers’ Guide, in digital format. The digimags give longevity to the advertising, since readers can leaf through magazines in their entirety any time. They represent one option in a multi-platform selection of opportunities; advertisers can also opt to buy corporate tabs that link to their company’s own website, and can advertise in the weekly newsletters going to the industry.
