Madeira Island Magazine Faz 45 ANOS!

Em maio de 1978 surge um jornal com o nome de Madeira Island Bulletin, da responsabilidade de Don Glen Sandy que tinha como principal propósito dar a conhecer a Madeira a todos os seus visitantes.

Na altura, este jornal foi pioneiro na divulgação da ilha da Madeira no ramo turístico, retratando assuntos sobre o seu povo, os seus recantos e os seus costumes e tradições.

A partir de 1999, o outrora jornal Madeira Island Bulletin, renasce com um novo nome e imagem. Surge assim a revista Madeira Island Magazine, que passa a ser impressa em formato de revista.

Mais de 20 anos depois, em setembro de 2020, a revista volta a ser reformulada e ganha uma nova vida com um aspeto mais moderno e atrativo, que se mantém até hoje. Bimestralmente, a MIM ganha uma nova edição, impressa e digital, sempre escrita em Português e Inglês. Gratuitamente é distribuída por toda a ilha, pelos postos de informação, aeroporto, hotéis, restaurantes e mais além. No mundo digital, corre os quatro cantos do mundo. São mais de 4 décadas ao serviço do Turismo Madeirense.

Madeira Island Magazine turns 45 years old!

In May 1978 a newspaper by the name of Madeira Island Bulletin was launched by Don Glen Sandy with the main purpose of marketing Madeira to all its visitors.

At the time, this newspaper was a pioneer in promoting Madeira in the tourism business, covering issues about its people, its corners and its customs and traditions.

In 1999 the former Madeira Island Bulletin was reborn with a new name and image. Thus was born the Madeira Island Magazine, which began to be printed in magazine format.

More than 20 years later, in September 2020, the magazine is once again redesigned and given a new life with a more modern and attractive look, which remains to this day.

Bimonthly, MIM launches a new edition, printed and digital, always written in Portuguese and English. It is distributed free of charge all over the island, at information posts, the airport, hotels, restaurants and beyond. In the digital world, it runs to the four corners of the globe. More than four decades of service to Madeiran Tourism.

The primary goal still prevails today, respecting the purpose of its origin: to promote the various products and services of Madeira Island to the countless tourists who visit it every day, but also to remind Madeirans of the privilege of living in the ‘Best Island Destination in the World’.

MIM celebrates another edition with you, this one in a very special way. Thank you reader, for throughout these 45 years of history to accompany the growth and development of what was the first magazine to make Madeira known to the world.
