Who we are</a></h2> <p> The Columbus World Travel Guide is known as 'the Bible of the Travel Industry'. For 27 years we have published the World Travel Guide which is sold in over 90 countries worldwide. The success of this led to the establishment of our presence online in 1996, enabling us to provide detailed travel information to consumers and license content to third party sites for the benefit of their users. We supply many of the top-ranking travel companies in the world with destination information for their public websites as well as many smaller travel and property websites. </p> <p> Our team of in-house editors and our international network of multilingual freelance journalists and travel writers have been able to create travel guides specifically for this online environment. In edition to the World Travel Guide we also produce a unique World Airport Guide, a Resort/Ski Guide, a World Cruise and Port Guide and Attraction Guide. </p> <p> Our World City Guide, providing information on over 200 culturally important cities, adds to the portfolio of comprehensive travel information. </p> <p> Our World Events Guide features over 4,000 events across five continents in some 80 countries, ranging from small-scale local events to major international festivals. New events are added to the site weekly. </p> <h2 class="dark"><a name="contact">Contact Us</a></h2> <p> Please direct all enquiries to the relevant area: </p> <p> Content Licensing: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090425093735/mailto:newmedia1@columbustravelmedia.com">newmedia1@columbustravelmedia.com</a><br/> Advertising & Sponsorship: Glen Sullivan, David Simms <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090425093735/mailto:travelads@columbustravelmedia.com">travelads@columbustravelmedia.com</a> on + 44 (0) 1322 611 335.<br/> Booksales: Sara Martinez <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090425093735/mailto:sara.martinez@columbustravelmedia.com">sara.martinez@columbustravelmedia.com</a> <br/>on + 44 (0) 1322 611 430. </p> <p> Or by post to:<br/> Columbus Travel Media Ltd<br/> Media House<br/> Azalea Drive<br/> Swanley<br/> Kent<br/> BR8 8HU<br/> UNITED KINGDOM<br/> Tel. + 44 (0) 1322 611 430. </p> <h2 class="dark"><a name="content">2.

It's all available here, and quickly searchable by country or region." <b>The Independent</b> </p> <p> <h2 class="dark">Feedback from our users:</h2> "I've travelled the net for information on various cities and countries and have had the best results finding what I need to know about countries of interest at the World Travel Guide site. Keep up the good work." <b>F LaGare, Arizona, USA</b> <br/><br/> "I have used this service to determine holiday trip destinations and I was impressed that the site actually contains USEFUL information for a generic traveller. I wasn't expecting tip rates, internal transportation schedules etc. for an exotic country, such as Kenya." <b>Sami Reijonen, Finland</b> <br/><br/> "This site is what makes the WWW worthwhile. I found all the information I had been looking and asking countless people for. I will now recommend your site not only when needed but also just a good place to expand one's knowledge. Thanks." <b>Eric Duncan, Washington DC, USA</b> <br/><br/> "The World Travel Guide is the most complete source of information for a travel agent. It is always on my desk." <b>Marco Agustoni, Secretary General, World Association of Travel Agents</b> <br/><br/> "How did we ever manage without it? A mature publication for a maturing industry." <b>Colin Trigger, President, Association of British Travel Agents</b> <br/><br/> "The World Travel Guide is a comprehensive worldwide reference book for
