495 Communications Breathes Life Into Travel Savvy; Publishes Premiere Issue With NxtBook Reader

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- 495 Communications is pleased to announce the relaunch of Travel Savvy as the first fully digital travel magazine dedicated to providing readers with insights and secrets about their favorite travel destinations in list format. Like its newsstand predecessor, Travel Savvy features lists from in-the-know locals about topics such as dining, hotels, sights/activities, shopping, and entertainment.  In ever-increasing numbers, travelers today are researching and planning their trips online.  Furthermore, the term 'local travel' -- where travelers seek and utilize information from those who live and work in the particular destination city -- has become synonymous with a successful travel experience.

"Experiencing a new city armed with information from those who know it best -- the locals -- certainly can give you an edge," explains Craig Pavia, CEO of 495 Communications.  "Travel Savvy has always been about great lists, and we're staying true to this concept but with a major upgrade: we've moved the title online."  Each article in the Travel Savvy digimag is transportable via text or email.

495 Communications has chosen Nxtbook Media as the technology partner for Travel Savvy's monthly digimag.  Nxtbook's use of rich media effectively translates each page visually, allowing users to digest every article while simultaneously visiting 3rd-party websites and forwarding lists via text and email, creating a compelling and active reading experience.  The monthly digital magazine will be distributed to subscribers at no cost.  Each issue will feature two new cities, while the online website, www.trvlsvvy.com, will be dynamic, allowing readers to submit lists continuously.  The premiere issue of Travel Savvy can be experienced at http://bit.ly/b5fKrz.
