Amazing Wonders
Branding & Publication Design new Travel Guide
Amazing Wonders is a small independent UK team focusing on the travel sector, who required a full travel brand design for a series of luxury travel guides aimed at independent travellers. Each guide features outstanding destinations, exceptional hotels and fabulous restaurants with valuable tips and local knowledge to enable you to plan a truly amazing travel experience. A new concept in luxury travel guides, Amazing Wonders has created a collection of brand new travel guides, designed for you to independently plan a truly exceptional, personal experience to faraway countries.
Established in 2014, Amazing Wonders endeavours to create a guide that gives the user a taste of a location and the tips and tools to explore on their own with fantastic knowledge only real research can provide. Amazing Wonders realised as a gap in the market for independent travellers who want a luxury experience, travelling to an itinerary pre-planned journey in style, but independently. Not following the usual tour group experience, but seeing the best, the Amazing Wonders have to offer.
