The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, has launched a high-end international travel program as a creative way to generate revenue and build community. The program, led by Editor-in-Chief Autumn Phillips, offers immersive and transformative experiences for readers. The paper partnered with Academic Travel Abroad to handle logistics and will receive 25% of the profits. Trips to Cuba, Cambodia, Morocco, Rwanda, and Northern Ireland are planned for the inaugural year, with participants meeting local experts and engaging in activities beyond typical travel itineraries.
