Hi,

I study at the Plantijnhogeschool in Antwerp, Belgium. I am currently doing a research project on the media which have ski resort owners or ski slope managers as a target group. So basically I am asking if you know of any magazines that are not meant for tourists, but for the owners/managers of the resorts or slopes. It would be a great help. I have looked on Google for several days and only came up with SAM Magazine.

Thanks in advance,
