A travel guide is a resource that provides information and recommendations for people who are planning a trip. It typically includes details on destinations, attractions, activities, accommodation options, local culture, transportation, dining, and practical tips to help travelers have a smooth and enjoyable experience. Travel guides can be in the form of books, websites, mobile apps, or even video content.
There are several types of travel guides:
Printed travel books (e.g., Lonely Planet, Fodor’s, Rick Steves).
Online travel guides (websites or blogs with destination-specific information).
Travel apps (providing real-time recommendations and maps).
Video guides (showing destinations, experiences, and tips).
Travel guides can be specific to a region, a city, or even a particular activity (like hiking, culinary tourism, or adventure sports). They are invaluable for tourists, offering insights into what to do, where to stay, where to eat, and how to navigate a new place.
