Lonely Planet is thought of by many as the world's most popular travel guide publisher.

The guides gave great advice on where to stay, places to visit and things to avoid. 2. Hydropolis will be the world's first underwater luxury hotel, with 220 suites, all on the bottom of the sea in the Persian Gulf. The hotel will have two domes that break the surface of the water and an underwater train tunnel, all made of transparent materials such as glass and acrylic so that guests can enjoy the underwater view. 3. In the early 1970s, low-cost airfares became available, making it affordable for young people to visit far-off places.

The spectacular resort of Chamonix lies at the foot of Europe's highest moun tain: the majestic Mont Blanc.
