About this title

Synopsis

Tells you where to find the best online travel sites for world-wide travel.

Review

If you're reading this review, you've already discovered the Internet and its huge impact on society; suddenly, the whole world is just a click away. This is especially true for people with a passion for travel. Go to any search engine and enter the name of your dream destination; chances are, dozens of Web sites will pop up--everything from listings by giant hotel conglomerates to Bob and Doris's online account of their bird-watching trip. This is both the beauty of the Web and also one of its most serious flaws; with so many sites to choose from, how does a traveler in search of the best information find what he or she really wants? Let Fodor's Net Travel walk through the Web pages for you. You'll get only the best, coolest, most informative sites relating to wherever you're going.

After an introductory section geared toward users who are new to the Internet, the book is divided into eight parts: "Travel Central" contains addresses and descriptions of sites that contain travel literature, hotel listings, airline departure schedules, and travel advice for those on a budget. Sections on Africa and the Middle East; Asia, Australia, and Oceania; Europe; Latin America and the Caribbean; and North America include Web sites devoted to the countries and cultures in each area. This is where you'll go for specific information about hotels in Cairo or languages spoken in Cameroon. Finally, "Theme Travel" focuses on resources based on activities rather than locations--the best fishing spots in the world, for example, or romantic destinations for honeymooners. Fodor's Net Travel is easy to use, and it provides Internet users with a great road map to the must-see sites in cyberspace.
