This book is the latest edition of The Traveler's Handbook published by WEXAS. It has short articles on a number of travel related subjects.Included are: country profiles for every country in the world,a comprehensive directory of top travel related websites,specialist travel suppliers, vaccinations required,information on travelling safely with survival tips for dangerous situations and extreme conditions,how to work and live abroad, how to meet and enjoy the challenges of other culture.I have owned every edition and now, as a international corporate travel specialist for one of the world's financial institutions, I use it almost daily. Today it was for a first time female traveler to Bangladesh and I gave her suggestions on how to dress modestly in a muslim county, when the monsoons stop and how hot and humid it will be when she is there. Yesterday I had a passenger going to The Gambia
This is the best, most complete and concise travel guide written.It is the size of a paper back book and the latest edition permanently resides in my carry-on. Over the years, mine have flown over a million miles with me.
