New York, NY (PRWEB) April 7, 2010 -- With travelers looking for variety, value and an "Insider's Edge" in planning their 2010 Summer vacations, Forbes Travel Guide announced that its new City Guides series is available at major bookstores across the country and online.
Authored by Forbes Travel Guide - formerly Mobil Travel Guide, the originator of the prestigious Mobil Star ratings, certifications and authoritative reviews of hotels, restaurants and spas -, the new City Guides cover New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago and Hong Kong.
Each Guide is a comprehensive resource for prospective visitors to a major urban destination, including shopping, art, music, sports, theater, and nightlife. With the "inside scoop" from anonymous inspectors and top-notch local writers, the guidebooks use Forbes' time-tested, star-rating system to allow travelers to experience the very best a city has to offer, with planning tools that include updated maps with pinpoints of star-rated properties, key sites, top attractions, quick tips and insider secrets.
"For Summer 2010, it's all about value and variety," said Shane O'Flaherty, President and CEO of Forbes Travel Guide.
He concluded, "Increasingly, individual travelers, couples and families are looking for the diversity and flavor of major urban destinations when planning their leisure time travel - and we are pleased to make available a series of unmatched resources to help them research and make their travel decisions."
Forbes Travel Guide expects to release additional City Guides later in 2010.
ABOUT THE CITY GUIDES
Each City Guide contains close to 200 pages of information-packed narrative, photographs and insider perspectives that are based on Forbes Travel Guide's star rating system that has been the most trusted source for travelers since 1958. The information-packed Guides help direct travelers to the finest lodgings, restaurants, and attractions a city has to offer, making an otherwise daunting task - planning a visit to a major international destination - a lively, entertaining and enjoyable experience. Colorfully written and illustrated, each Guide comes in a handy pocket-size format, making it an ideal travel companion for the trip.
