The new 2006 edition of the British Guild of Travel Writers Yearbook, hot off the press today, is the UK's richest source of information for the travel media. It is brimming with ideas for articles, films and programmes and contains details for locating appropriate experts.

The book has full details on the specialisms and experience of the 252 members of the Guild, who are professional travel writers, broadcasters, photographers, editors and publishers. Between them they work in all sectors of the travel media, both in the UK and across the world.

These include Tour Operators, Tourist Offices (both in the UK and worldwide), Transportation, Travel Associations, Accommodation (with hotels and resorts) and Travel Equipment. There are also sections on the UK Travel Media and Travel PR companies.

The 50-plus advertisers in the Yearbook describe their individual travel programmes for 2006 and the facilities they offer to the media, and they want to be contacted. They include tourist offices, tour operators, travel PR companies as well as travel associations, accommodation and transport organisations – an excellent source of new material for articles and broadcasts. A further 50-plus companies have highlighted their contact details with logos.

 "My Dead Sea stroll to the spa began unpromisingly. An old Jordan hand chided me for breaking every social taboo in the land: wet hair (suggestive of steamy sex, not a good look in Ramadan, when romps are banned till sunset); exposed nape of the neck (erotic provocation); bare knees (erogenous zone and poor sartorial sense); looking men in the eye (looser morals than Salome, that local minx). But the irrepressible staff smiled serenely at my crimes, while possibly consigning me to Sodom, just down the track in Biblical terms."
