ProfessionalTravelGuide.com has signed a new publishing partnership with SharedBook Inc. that would enable travelers to create their own unique, professionally printed Pocket Guidebooks by combining relevant online travel content with personal notes and photographs.
The Pocket Guidebook is a pre-trip book that works as an extension of ProfessionalTravelGuide.com’s eGuidebook content. With a few clicks, travelers can produce their own guide containing destination and travel information such as sightseeing, nightlife, shopping and dining content and relevant addresses. They can also add personal notes, itinerary information and photographs. The Pocket Guidebook can be created for a single destination, or multiple locations, thereby eliminating the need for travelers to struggle with loose printouts or multiple books.
By going to ProfessionalTravelGuide.com and clicking on the eGuidebook tab, travelers can create their pre-trip travel book. Once they have selected the information they want to include, the guidebook is automatically generated online. Travelers are then given the choice to preview and purchase the book or personalize it further.
The application is fully collaborative, enabling groups of travelers to work on the guides together. Anyone invited into the space can contribute personal notes and photographs and make their own book. After finalizing the content, the book is purchased and sent to the printer for on-demand output in laminated soft cover format.
