section Summary
 
 
Guidebooks are important because they are portable, they contain a surplus of information on destinations and they are easy to refer to. Noteworthy information guidebooks provide are the “must know” elements of different areas including advice on the culture and safety within destinations. The most important aspect of a guidebook is its portability and the ease of extracting information from it. A traveler can easily find himself on a train, wondering about his upcoming destination and it is a guidebook that is able to provide the traveler with a brief history of the destination, places to stay, places to eat, and what to see. Some guidebooks even include “off the beaten track” places where they will be more likely to experience the local people and culture.
