TRAVEL ON THE INTERNET is one title in the POCKET TOUR series that gives the reader a quick, no-nonsense approach to learning how to use the Net for practical purposes. Part One introduces readers to the basics of the Internet in 34 pages that should help newcomers learn enough to make use of Part Two. If you are reading this review I'd say you know enough to go directly to the second part that contains the good stuff - the sites! Many government travel offices have been quick to seize the opportunities of the Internet in general and the World Wide Web in particular to promote tourism within their borders. In addition, many cities have also become Net citizens, making it possible for you to get information about hotels, things to do, local attractions and other useful traveller intelligence gathering. TRAVEL ON THE INTERNET points you to the various Web sites, USENET newsgroups, etc. There's so much up-to-date information available free for the asking, once you know where to go to get it. TRAVEL ON THE INTERNET is an excellent resource on the subject ot world travel and its well worth the $13.00 price tag. Even if you don't do a lot of travelling physically, TRAVEL ON THE INTERNET will show how you can take interesting journeys via the Internet. And, there's no hassles at airports or borders either! %T Travel on the Internet %A Savitha Varadan & Kenyon Brown %I SYBEX %C Alameda California %D 1995 %O $12.99 %G ISBN:0-7821-1760-0 %P 211 pages, paperbound %K Internet, travel, tourism (C) 1996 Michael Crestohl Nahant Massachusetts USA mc@shore.net DISCLAIMER: I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in the success or failure of the book or materials reviewed herewith, nor have I received any compensation (other than a review copy requested by me) from anyone who has.
