| Commercial sites and publications should be regarded with extreme skepticism because they are more likely to recommend those who advertise with them, regardless of quality, in preference to The Best who mightn't advertise with them. Further, such sites and publications might not have what you seek only because they do not pay to be mentioned. You are advised, regardless of where you travel, to ask local people about commercial sites' and publications' recommendations. |
Please suggest an oversight that you think should be included.
