In this first of four planned Volumes, we're covering Asia and Oceania. Inside you'll find guides to:

• Mumbai • Bangkok • Kuala Lumpur • Singapore • Beijing • Hong Kong • Shanghai • Seoul • Tokyo • Manila • Jakarta • Guangzhou • Delhi • Osaka • Melbourne • Sydney • Auckland • Taipei • Kolkata • Shenzhen • Ho Chi Minh City 

We've researched and curated all the essential information you need to experience these cities on your own terms. Things like:

• how to use the local transport system

• how to pay for things

• tips on tipping

• language essentials

• must-eat food items and where to find them

• local etiquette and customs

• tips and tricks unique to each city

• and tons more...

All this is presented alongside stunning photography curated especially for the Attaché Guide to Travel. The book also includes a foreword by Mark Vanhoenacker, Boeing 747 pilot and Bestselling author of Skyfaring and How to Land a Plane.

The Attaché Guide to Travel is a guide book for today’s traveller.

Forget the endless lists of tourist traps and clichéd restaurants. The Attaché Guide to Travel is packed with tips on transport, food, money, language, and etiquette, so you can unlock YOUR unique experience in some of the world’s greatest cities.

Beautifully designed with world-class photography, the Attaché book is essential hand-luggage material for every traveller.

Most travel books all seem to be 500-page lists of tourist attractions and over-priced eateries. Nobody has time for that anymore. There’s very little that caters to today's traveller; the traveller who wants to dive beneath the veneer of a city and discover its spirit through the people that live there, and their food and drink, all while respecting local customs.
