I created this infographic to address the question, “Are Travel Guides Dead?”. I didn’t think they were, because I still buy digital and physical travel guides.

I did some research to see what data I could find about the viability of writing and publishing travel guides, and the travel guide market is still booming.

So if you were in any doubt about the viability of writing a travel guide … consider your decision vindicated!

Great to see my infographic retweeted by Moon Travel Guides:

I’m putting the finishing touches on my How to Write and Self-Publish a Travel Guide Series, which details a step by step approach for writing and producing your own travel guide. It’s part of a four-part series aimed at helping travel bloggers achieve passive income based on their passions and existing content.

Each month I host a monthly free prize draw and give away a travel writing e-book to the lucky winner. Sign up to join my mailing list to participate.

Do you still buy travel guides, or do you do all your research online?
