San Diego (Paperback)

Tourism is growing rapidly. 15 million people visited the city in 1998, a 3.2% increase from 1997.73% were leisure travelers. Meanwhile, the city is drawing more business travelers, due to the popularity of the Convention Center, which is about to undergo a major expansion that will double its size.

This newly updated edition is jam-packed with comprehensive coverage of San Diego's best from the new LegoLand theme park to the beaches. It features expanded coverage of The Gaslamp Quarter, a trendy area of coffeehouses, restaurants, shops, and galleries that's near the Convention Center and is very popular with business and leisure travelers. Plus, it offers new background on the San Diego Wildlife Animal Park and the San Diego Zoo and many new options for families traveling with kids.

The edition features a distinctive new gold cover with a hard-hitting subtitle that effectively sells the guide's unique features, plus a bold new spine that highlights the Rand McNally map inside, and lively backcover copy that creates excitement about the destination and establishes Fodor's as the brand leader.
