Every time I go to a bookstore there seems to be a new series of travel guides on the shelves. As record numbers of people travel abroad, more and more publishers are jumping on the bandwagon to cash in on the growing travel industry. Nevertheless, finding a guidebook that suits your needs and whose style and suggestions you like is not easy.
Despite the plethora of travel guides available, I have found not one single travel guide that meets all my travel needs and interests. Some books provide in-depth cultural and historical information with great essays and photographs but have few recommendations for lodging, dining, and transportation. Others emphasize practical travel information but provide little background on culture and history. The best travel guide is ultimately the one you put together yourself from a variety of sources, based on your personal interests and travel preferences. I recommend getting a general guide that tells you how to get around and where to stay, and another guide that specializes in your main travel interest, such as art, history, trekking, kayaking, etc.
