The proliferating travel industry of different countries and places provide an excellent opportunity for those who love to explore various attractions of the world. And with the increase in number of travel enthusiasts around the world, now there are wonderful opportunities for those who wish to pen down their experiences. The idea is to make travel guides and manuals which will not only provide knowledge to other travellers, but will also fetch you good money.
There are many organisations that have found immense potential in promoting travel guides and tourism in different countries and regions. Some of these organisations focus on only the major attractions of the world like Mount Rushmore and The Grand Canyon, while some focus on the swanky cities of the world like New York etc. Some are country or continent specific like Australia and Singapore and some do not have a finite range, they just take on the whole world at large.
You can either associate with them and start making travel guides for these organisations or you can also opt to work for different travel magazines and other journals and periodicals where they promote travelling to some extent. You can get in touch with many online travel guides and journals and provide them the manuscript of your experiences or you can also have your own blog and share your journey with the whole wide world.
There are multiple resources where you can publish your travel guides. But remember that your travel guides should follow certain rules which can be either tacit or explicit. For instance, you should keep the language simple and comprehensive. Your readers should understand what you are trying to say. You should also keep it interesting so that you can excite your readers about the place you are discussing. Plus there are other guidelines that frame travel guides which you should adhere to.

A few words from our tour guide at Bob Marleys home in the Hills of Jamaca … Jamaica

there is hard to find guidance there, even for a map
so be sure you take a travel guide with you, maybe even two ones
also, the schedules in travel guides might be different than what you find on the spot or they might be in renovation, closed etc. So either call them(if you know Spanish) or go EARLY.
I used Frommer's Peru Guide because they give interesting comments

Itaewon is an area in Seoul where lots of foriegners live. Lots of English speakers there. If you go there, there are some travel agents who can help get you a guide. Or just ask around. You'll find something.

That's almost as special as a gift of a silent movie to a blind person. Sure go for it. Don't be heart broken though if you find it in the trash can.

You mean you have "written" a travel guide?…

first of all try to find tour operators from your origin country(is it UK?) go and ask them to cooperate with you. You have to know very good about history/monuments/roads etc.This is about tour leaders.
If you are a licenced guide you can cooperate with many countries all over the world.Sent your resimate to tour operators that work with outgoing tourism and when they have a guided tour (it is usually 03-04 hours ) they will call you back. a guided city tour 03hours with licenced guide costs about 200euro per 50pax.
Hope I helped..

It is not a shiny travel guide, but has a lot of useful info organized in a very convenient way. I like it!
By reading through it, you'll find your own ideas what you want to see and where you want to go… so it is better somehow that you are not required to follow some predefined travel route and someone else's ideas…
+ ad-free!
hope you'll find it useful
