Country Specific Resources:
Note about resources: Although every website that this page links to was reviewed, sites change over time and many sites have links to other sites that I have not reviewed. Remember the surf-safe mantra: never give out your full name or other personal information online. You wouldn't tell a stranger this information, and you shouldn't tell it to anyone online either...none of the sites below should ask you for your information. If you find a site that you feel should be removed based on content, please let Ms. B know.
A note about Wikipedia: Ms. B is well aware of the fact that anyone can write anything on Wikipedia. However, Ms. Bryant believes that Wikipedia is a good jumping off point for your research on this assignment...you are working for a travel company and the information Wikipedia provides is detailed enough to get you started.
