WELCOME TO CAMPING TRADE WORLD
H
■ello, hola, bonjour, hallo,
hej, ciao, ni hao, and
konichiwa. Welcome to
Camping Trade World wherever
you are on this wonderful
planet we call home. What is
Camping Trade World, I hear
you ask? Well, as the founding
Editor, allow me to enlighten
you. Camping Trade World (or
CTW) is a brand-new, omnichannel
business-to-business
media platform aiming to serve
the camping, caravanning,
motorhome, RV, glamping
and outdoor leisure industries.
While we may be ‘new kids on
the block’ to these industries,
we are very experienced
old hands with this type of
platform. Our publisher, David
Hall Publishing, has a long
history of international B2B
magazines – with Tackle Trade
World, established in 2000, and
Gun Trade World, established
in 2010, both hugely wellrespected
titles in the fishing
tackle and hunting industries
respectively.
Our mission at CTW is to be
an invaluable resource to anyone
who works in the thriving and
exciting industries relating to
camping. So far, we already
have readers signed up from
20 different countries and our
subscriber database is growing
every day. Whether it’s through
this very digital magazine our
regular email newsletters, our
up-to-the-minute website, our
podcast, or our social media
channels – we want to help you
grow your business. Because
business growth is our speciality
as a B2B publisher. CTW will
put sellers from one country in
front of buyers from another –
it’s a simple recipe, but one that
we know works well and delivers
results. If you are looking to
increase your export, make new
partners, source new products or
components, get your message
out to the international industry,
or promote your products and
services, you’ve come to the
right place. We have a host of
different ways we can help you
achieve your business goals.
Whatever your product, service
or business, talk to us about how
we can help you. All you need to
do is ask.
But first, please take a look
through this first edition of
CTW to get more of an idea
of what we are about. I hope
that you enjoy it, and if you
do, please feel free to direct
anyone else you know in the
industry towards us – our
website is the best place to
start: www.campingtradeworld.

subscription could be the
smartest thing you do for your
business this year.
Happy camping,
David Guest
