Rachel Morgan-Trimmer, founder of thecareerbreaksite.com, commented that online advice offers a number of benefits beyond printed travel brochures. The main advantage, she noted, is that information online can be updated immediately, meaning that those headed to adventure travel destinations can get up-to-the minute visa information and official travel advice.

Holidaymakers 'rely on reviews when booking trips'
Many British travellers seek feedback from other holidaymakers online to help them decide on destinations and hotels, new research has revealed.
According to hotels.com, 79 per cent of UK tourists said that they are happy to base holiday decisions on the opinions of fellow travellers that are posted online.
The study also found that people are more likely to trust the recommendations of total strangers than of their friends and family.
However, many respondents did state that they will use a variety of sources before making a final choice about a holiday or hotel.
