Guidebooks

When travelling to new places, guidebooks are a great source that can come in handy. Thinking back to all the times that I have stayed in different hotels, there have always been different guidebooks for activities and restaurants. Guidebooks can be very beneficial if you are in a new place and want to know the most popular activities and restaurants in the area. Guidebooks are definitely a useful tool to visit the most popular attractions. But, what guidebooks lack is the fact that many visitors want to visit areas that are not overcrowded and tacky. When I travel I look at guidebooks as an idea for places to go, but will do further research on my phone. When I travel, I like to have many restaurant options due to my food allergies, in addition to when my family travels, we have our puppy with us. So, it is very important to be able to find a dog friendly restaurant, and most of the time guidebooks lack information on places that allow dogs. I also believe that as years go on and technology continues to advance, the need for guidebooks will continue to decrease. In all aspects of life, people would rather look at their phones than find a physical copy. So, in these current days I do not believe that there is a desperate need to create new guidebooks when there are so many online websites that find exactly what a visitor is looking for.
