Eye Catching Covers... Working with a limited advertising budget in 2013, it was important to choose wisely for our print media goals. After researching the local options, we chose Destino Magazine. Our focus was to attract the Los Cabos vacationer and Destino Magazine appealed to us because of their distribution numbers and locations. Due to the professional staff at Destino, our ad resulted in sales covering both the cost of the ad campaign and all related expenses. We could not have been happier and will continue to place our confidence and advertising dollars with Destino Magazine. - Joanne Berkowitz, Real Estate Sales Grand Regina Los Cabos...Quality Editorial and Relevant Tourist Information
