TARGET MARKET

uncovered some of its secrets.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Inspirational guides that take a selective approach for the discerning traveller.
A carefully edited choice of entries compiled by writers with an in-depth knowledge of the destination.
Stylish design with evocative photography, matched by text that is informative, reliable and entertaining.
A ‘dip into’ list of over 100 great ideas – things to see and do, places to stay, bars and restaurants to seek out, with plenty of secret corners,
local haunts, quirky and off-the-beaten track suggestions thrown into the mix.
Ideas are grouped by area, with detailed mapping for ease of use on the ground.
An ‘inspiration’ section allows the reader to tailor-make an itinerary - whether they’re looking for adventure, culture, romance, family fun or a
lazy day, there’s a list of suggestions to match their mood.
11
Experience Guides
HOW EACH BOOK IS ORGANISED
Experience guides are divided into three elegantly designed sections:
1. After a brief introduction to the city and a city map, the book begins with an ‘inspiration’ section of around 20 pages. This is filled
with suggestions covering a wide range of things to do, places to eat, drink and shop – all grouped by mood.
Many of the headings are applicable to all destinations in the series, In the Mood For…. a gourmet blow-out; retail therapy; contemporary
arts/fine art; adventure; a night on the town; being pampered; family fun; a lazy day; romance; escaping the crowds;
offbeat exploration; people watching etc. Each individual suggestion is cross-referenced to the main section of the book, where
they are given full coverage.
2. The main section presents a ‘dip into’ selection of 100+ experiences. Pick any page at random and a great idea is presented. The
section is subdivided into neighbourhoods, each neighbourhood having its own ‘menu’ of ideas, carefully chosen by writers who
know the destination inside out. The choice is selective rather than comprehensive, but with enough variety to plan many a perfect
day, whatever the reader’s mood. Each chapter also has its own area map, plotted with all the suggested sights, restaurants,
shops etc.
3. There is also an A to Z section at the end of the book, containing all the information you need on getting around and other key practical points.
MARKET COMPETITION
The new Insight Experience series is an exciting, upmarket addition to the Insight stable. The striking covers and elegant interior design
are more than a match for other ‘style’ guides, but unlike the competitors their visual appeal is backed by the quality content and
mapping that are the hallmark of Insight.

TARGET MARKET
Explore guides are aimed at well-informed readers in their mid-20s upwards, travelling independently. Some readers may be those who are
comfortable navigating a destination on their own, but are hoping to find insider places and secret spots off the beaten tourist track; others
may be less familiar with the destination and prefer the structure of a pre-prepared tour.
The guides are intended to be attractive to and useful for both first-time and repeat visitors; they should also appeal to locals who want the
structure of a tour, particularly for less well-known areas and sights.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Around 15 irresistible walks and tours in every guide
The best priced full-colour route-based guides on the market
Local writers give you the insider take on each destination
The only route-based guide with a full-colour pull-out map on which the recommended itineraries are all clearly marked,
plus a detailed street index
Stylish, contemporary design with at least 250 full-colour photographs in every guide
19
Explore Guides
HOW EACH BOOK IS ORGANISED
Explore Guides are divided into three main sections:
Introduction
The first point of call for essential background information on culture, geography, lifestyle and traditions, plus the
lowdown on food, drink, shopping, entertainment, history and other pertinent topics, from Modernisme in Explore
Barcelona to Turkish baths in Explore Istanbul. Practical suggestions are covered in a “top tips” box, while the
“don’t leave without...” feature is a run-down of unique experiences in the destination. This provides all
the background information needed to set the walks and tours in context.
Best Routes
Each guide features around 15 illuminating self-guided walks and tours, with something for every
budget, taste and trip length. The routes have clear, easy-to-follow maps, hand-picked places to eat
and drink en route and informative feature boxes. A ‘Key Facts’ box at the start of each tour highlights
the recommended time needed to enjoy it to the full, the distance covered, and a start and end point;
all this makes it simple for the reader to find the perfect itinerary for the time available.
Directory:
A user-friendly, fact-packed A to Z of practical information, plus an enhanced selection of hotel, restaurant
and nightlife listings, which will lead the reader to the best that the destination has to offer, whether that’s
the hippest hotels, the most romantic restaurant or the funkiest jazz venues. A language section and
suggestions for further reading and films to watch rounds the book off.

Great Breaks Guides
SPECIFICATIONS
Size: 117mm x 194mm
Page count: 128 pages
Binding: Round spine – no flaps
Price: £6.99 - £7.99
Option to license Standard
Bundling package, offering the
eBook on purchase of the
printed book.
TARGET MARKET
Great Breaks are aimed at a broad age group from 25 to 65, encompassing families, couples and an active older generation. Our readers are in
general relatively well-educated, independent travellers; they may also be ecologically-minded, having preferred to stay at home for their
holidays rather than increase their carbon footprint.
This series will also appeal to those who want to rediscover Britain’s gems on a short break. Some readers are comfortable navigating a
destination on their own but are hoping to find insider places and ‘greener’ options; others may be less familiar with the destination and prefer
the structure of a pre-prepared tour. Some will be travelling by car but the books will give options for cycling and public transport. The guides
are intended to be used on-the-go for both first-time and repeat visitors.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Fresh, contemporary and user-friendly design with full-colour photographs.
New, detailed, full-colour mapping. One map per route in addition to an overview map for the whole area.
Lively text by local writers for the insider take on the destination.
Extensive listings with an emphasis on greener options: locally produced food, camping, alternative accommodation (tepee, yurt, etc. – as
well as smaller boutique hotels and B&Bs).
Features spreads (about 3 per guide) on local flavour: festivals, markets and events.
Special section on themed holidays and an extended active pursuits section.
Boxes within the Places chapters are full of practical information: best restaurants en route, boutique hotels, green tips, kids’ activities.

Great Breaks Guides
HOW EACH BOOK IS ORGANISED
Overview
Each book starts with a spread highlighting the Top Ten Things to Do in that area or town. This is followed by an engaging
introduction that is the first point of call for essential background information on culture, geography, lifestyle and
traditions, plus the lowdown on food, drink, shopping, history and other pertinent topics. This provides all the background
information needed to set the walks and tours in context.
Walks and Tours
Each guide features around 8 irresistible self-guided walks and tours, which show how to get the most out of the
destination, with something for every budget and taste. The tours have clear, easy-to- follow maps, hand-picked places to
eat and drink en route, top accommodation recommendations, green tips and informative feature boxes. At the start of
each tour, a ‘Highlights’ box provides the reader with the main attractions along the way with an indication of the distance
and duration of the tour.
Travel Tips
The final section of the book incorporates a comprehensive series of listings, with separate sections on active holidays
(birdwatching, watersports, cycling, fishing, golf, etc.) and themed holidays (volunteering, painting and cooking courses,
conservation work, etc.). There is also a Practical Information section and a comprehensive listing of accommodation
websites.
MARKET COMPETITION
There are few competitors with series on British destinations exclusively, and none that match the Great Breaks
in combining both high quality text and pictures with detailed listings.
