  Boston '99 (9/98, 0-679-00121-2) has sold almost 15,000 copies to date.

  11.5 million people visited the Boston metro area in 1998, a 4% increase over the prior year. The Greater Boston CVB forecasts a 3.3% increase for 1999, or 11.9 million visitors. Boston's tourism industry is currently enjoying one of its strongest periods on record. Over two dozen new hotels have either just opened or are under construction, slated for opening before the year 2000.

  Convention and business travel is on the rise, representing more than 70% of Boston's 1998 visitor volume.

  This completely updated guide is perfect for all kinds of travelers -- from those on business to vacationers to weekend visitors from all over the Northeast. It covers the must-see sights, from the Freedom Trail to Harvard Square to dozens of off-the-beaten path treasures, and includes lively walking tours and great recommendations for charming places to eat and sleepy -- in all price ranges. Plus, it features side trips to Lexington and Concord, and beyond.

  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.
