As border restrictions ease and international tourist travel restarts, we are relaunching the Country Guides after a two year hibernation. During this relaunch we are not providing every Country Guide, but will gradually add guides as more countries open up to Australian tourists. The following information relates to normal operating periods, not our relaunch. The list of countries below are the currently available guides.

How many Country Guides are available?

There are 111 Country Guides available, plus additional regional guides for Hawaii and Bali.

How do you decide which countries should have a Country Guide?

Our aim is to provide Country Guides that cover the countries visited by over 97% of outbound Australian tourists. To make sure we publish guides on the countries that are most needed, we continually monitor the itineraries of popular touring and cruising companies to ensure that emerging destinations are also taken into account. Perhaps most importantly, we listen to the feedback we receive from our subscribers. We cannot unfortunately produce Country Guides for specific destinations on request, however each time we conduct a review on the countries we issue guides for, countries with numerous subscriber requests are the most likely to be produced.

What should I do if the country I need isn’t listed?

Use the Request a Guide function to vote for a new guide to be produced. While we cannot produce a guide for every country, and we don’t produce guides on request, letting us know you want it makes it more likely the Country Guide will be available next time you need it.

Which countries are guides available for?

The countries we currently issue guides for can be seen below. Every guide is five pages in length.
