In 50 years of production PIM has never pretended to be a travel magazine, but no magazine could write in depth about life in the Pacific without a healthy ingredient of travel.
The canoe marathons of the early voyagers, the sail ing ship contacts from the Old World, the modern net work of air and sea routes and the isolation of the islands that dot the ocean form the backdrop to a huge travel experience.
Parts of the Pacific today are well known on the international tourist map, but the region still holds islands, places and people little known and littfe visited.
PIM has been writing about these places since its earliest issues, although the travel section in its present form was not es tablished until January 1978.
For many years before then, however, PIM was telling travellers’ tales of some of the lesser-known parts of the Pacific, often being the first magazine to do so.
