Leisure Publishing cc t/a Leisure Publishing Group is a progressive, black economic empowered publishing company, based in Cape Town, South Africa.  Our core business focuses on magazines and in particular our flagship title, Family Holiday and Leisure.

The company is managed by Illana Strauss Dillon and Carl Dillon. As a team they bring with them a wealth of magazine experience having been in the industry for more than twenty years collectively.  Carl and Illana worked on and managed magazine titles for companies such as RCI, American Express and Southern Sun Hotels, as well as the well known Leadership brand.  Following the success of this, Illana founded the award winning Explore South Africa magazine and together she and Carl launched a group of travel titles, including magazines such as Explore Namibia, Explore L’Afrique and the Africa Directory.

Four years ago, the couple got married and had two daughters, Hannah (3) and Georgia (7 months).

The family lives and works in the beautiful and unique coastal town of Hout Bay, near Cape Town in South Africa.  Hout Bay’s splendour is remarkable as it is surrounded by an amphitheatre of mountains that seem to majestically guard over its tranquil indigo bay.  The town is loved for these breath-taking surroundings as well as for the relaxed family orientated lifestyle it offers.  Hout Bay will give you and your family an exceptional holiday experience with an emphasis on nature, sun, sea and sand…

Being seasoned travellers themselves and having many friends with children, who either do or don’t travel with their parents, they noticed a gap in the magazine market due to a lack of information on travelling with kids.  There are numerous magazines that focus on families and raising children of various ages and there are a number of travel magazines in South Africa.  There are also many lodges and resorts in our country who advertise family programmes and facilities for kids, special family rates and kids clubs.  Family Holiday & Leisure is however, the only travel and leisure magazine in South Africa that specifically targets the lucrative family market.

In addition this magazine LPG plans to build a diverse, fresh and modern print publication list, as well as have a strong presence on social networking sites and we’ll be offering free monthly e-bulletins that provide additional advertising opportunities for our clients.

As a company we focus on the unique needs of our advertisers and work closely with you to find creative, workable, and affordable solutions, while providing high quality, informative and relevant publications for our readers.  We’ll show you how to best reach your market and offer solutions to your company’s present growth and future success.

LPG has major plans for the coming days, months and years ahead and we are always delighted to receive comments and feedback – whether concerning content, advertising, publishing or absolutely anything. Inspired by the love of magazines, we look forward to building and maintaining special relationships with our clients and readers for many years to come.

Offering an unsurpassed service, holding our promises, and serving our customers at our full potential, this is our way of doing business.

It is clearly a win-win situation!
