A Man's Guide to Mexico and Cuba 1996 (Travel Series (Beverly Hills, Calif.).)

Rating:
Summary: A strong beginning for a gudiebook geared toward Gay travel.
Review: The publication of the guidebook automatically makes it destined for success. Since there are so few guidebooks for Gay travelers, these specialized editions are long overdue and extremely welcome. Future editions should include color photographs, brief interviews with local men and women in the various cities, brief commentaries by travelers---listing the good, the bad, and the 'watch out'! These brief commentaries can include the actual experiences of travellers. They can write of who they met, where, and what transpired. All of course in a friendly and dignified (?) manner. Then too, it would be helpful for the traveller to get specific addresses of not only the bars, restaurants, and tourist hangouts, but also the spots that are frequented by local gays. Advise the reader of any friendship clubs or organizations in the various cities. Tell the reader about friendly citizens that are willing to act as guides or informational services. This is the real world. It's time for Senor Cordova to compete with Moon, Lonely Planet, and Fodor's Publications. He will definitely get a good share of the market!
