The new guides feature: Hundreds of full color photos, specifically selected to highlight what’s special about each destination New interior design that makes information more accessible and imminently browsable More feature boxes that call out our expert tips, recommended itineraries, online resources, side trips, cultural highlights, events, and more Authors who are local experts whose outspoken opinions reveal what’s worth travelers’ time and what’s not Intuitive new icons point out favorite moments, great finds and values, kid-friendly and overrated attractions Detailed full-color maps that are larger and easier to read Chapter tabs to make it simple to find what you’re looking for Durable coated paper that withstands lots of browsing and flipping Most frequently updated prices and information about attractions and points of interest “I know we have an opinionated and curious audience in our online community,” said Frommers.com editorial director David Lytle. “They also have keen eyes when it comes to photographing their journeys as we have seen in their own photo galleries. We really wanted to give them the opportunity to showcase their own viewpoint by finding the best image out there to be featured on the cover of a Frommer’s Travel Guide. We’re expecting some fierce competition.” David Lytle is the editorial director for Frommers.com, the online companion to America’s best-selling travel guides, and regularly hosts the weekly Frommers.com Podcast. He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, and radio stations across the country. His travel advice has appeared on Smartmoney.com and Businessweek.com, as well as in the Washington Post, US News & World Report, the New York Post, the New York Times and more.
