not to "sell the country" to travelers. Instead, they tell it
how it is. Typical headings include: "Warnings" (in case
travel is not recommended - the "why's"); Facts for the
Traveler, When to Go, Events, Money and Costs, Attractions,
Off the Beaten Track, Activities, History, Culture,
Environment, Getting There and Away, Getting Around, and
