Publishing

As Britain's largest travel publisher, AA Publishing produces 100’s of new and revised travel and leisure guides, accommodation and eating-out guides, road atlases and maps and illustrated reference titles each year. We also produce a range of car accessories that are bought by more than five million UK customers every year.

Guiding the way

But our success is not just confined to this country; AA Publishing also has an excellent international reputation with more than 40 million travel guides sold worldwide to date.  Contributing in no small way to the content of AA books are the Cartography and Geographic Information teams, which use advanced computer and plotting technology to create innovative and highly successful products centred around our maps. Projects include atlases, travel guides, leisure books and street-by-street guides, as well content for satellite-navigation systems and the AA's renowned online routeplanner service.

Cutting-edge

The drive to innovate and create new products is intrinsic to AA Publishing’s future plans. Not only is the company at the leading edge of routes and maps online, it is also investing heavily in new technology to ensure that its range of products reaches a new generation of consumers who want information at their fingertips wherever they happen to be, whether that’s for mobile-phone or PDA users, eReader owners or Sat-Nav device users, AA Publishing is developing a range of new products.

Cartographers and Web experts combine with editors, designers and development teams, picture researchers and production specialists to create a formidable publishing team.

Finance and business administration underpins the creative heart of the company and our own team of sales specialists guarantees that AA products are synonymous with the world of travel and leisure publishing.

Hotel Services 

A further integral part of our operation is the Hotel Services department, which operates the high-profile inspection and rating schemes used by the AA to classify hotels, bed and breakfasts, restaurants and camping & caravan sites throughout Britain and Ireland. Information from these areas is used to create and update the best-selling 'AA Lifestyle Guides' and a specialist sales team offers opportunities and advice on how best to advertise in these market-leading titles.
