Problem
How do I find tourist board websites and cities?
Answer
Country List with Flags and Capitals
Got to www.Wikitravel.org
See www.countryconnect.co.uk
The quickest way to find a list of countries of the world is not to go to wikipedia which gives you the flags, which is good, together with the capital which is good, but in most of their tables several columns of other information.
Simpler List
Instead go to Simple.wikipedia.org
It's no use copying with select all because you get all the wikipedia page logos which overlay anything else you have already typed above.
Finding Addresses
How to find the tourist board addresses? I used the address cards and the WTM Catalogue 2016, issued in November 2016. Then I discovered a website with the addresses of the tourist boards in London and the addresses for getting a visa.
