No it's not Maggie, it's a cheap publicity stunt from a struggling publisher whose credibility in the travel guide market is looking ever-more weary, and now is trying to sell a few more copies of a guide that very few read and even fewer act upon.

The LP tends to be a bit idiosyncratic but it's still one of the top-selling guides, and this is still a great boost for Glasgow.
It's a shame that a few people here keep trying to do the city down - but you see the same on the Edinburgh Evening News pages, and it's still a wonderful place to visit too.

I've been to Mexico City and it was fantastic. Chicago's grid system was copied from Glasgow and I'm delighted that we're being mentioned in the same breath as them!!
Young travellers do take not of Lonely Planet and with so many jobs in the tourism sector, anything that helps to attract even more can only be good news at what is a troubling economic period.
I'd love to know if there is anything at all in Glasgow which makes Sydney happy ... I'd suggest playing with the buses, personally. Oh no, on second thoughts, probably not a good idea as he'd go on about congestion, high prices, poor driving, it all being the fault of everyone but him, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah ...

Scott Taylor, chief executive of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: "Glasgow, Scotland with Style has helped position the city and the way people perceive Glasgow in the international market place."
You've got that right Scottie-boy, it's just a pity that the tacky, boring, outdated slogan has managed to lump Glasgow in with three of the most murderous, crime-ridden cities in the world in Beirut, Mexico City and Sao Paulo.... and you SERIOUSLY think that there's anything 'stylish' in that? It'll take Glasgow years to shake of this slur...

"Dear old Glesga toon!" In a funny sort of way our city IS a major attraction for tourists. We have produced the world's finest ships and our steel is also world famous. Needless to say the biggest UK dollar earner is Scotch whisky and the Largest British 'invisible' income by far is Insurance, predominantly Scottish. Glasgow has given the world a veritable host of sensational inventions, too many to mention here. The city has probably the greatest amount of beautiful parks worldwide (Glescu...the dear green place) and is only a spit away from Loch Lomond and the Lanarkshire hills.
Moaners like Sydney can only decry the bad headlines, of which admittedly, we have plenty. But, come on fella, credit where it is due, Glesca is still birlin'.

Some overlap but they are not measuring the same thing. One is based on numbers of arrivals (mostly not holiday tourists, I suspect), the other is the LP's opinion about holiday tourist destinations. I'm happy that LP think Glasgow is a great place to visit, and I agree. Your desire to run it down is well-established.
I've never been to Beruit but London, Bangkok, Paris, Antwerp and Chicago also great cities to visit.

You forgot to mention that your article also mentions that "winning the Commonwealth games is a great achievement" and that "new Labour leader Steven Purcell is getting to grips with the squalor ignored by too many of his predecessors". Presumably you agree with that too?
None of which means Glasgow isn't a great place to vist, the point you miss yet again.

Well from the posters who have been instructed to post on here from their political bosses's , it seems Glasgows future will be one of a playground for russian gangsters and their pornotrash dirtytanned girlfriends , sex tourists, brothel creepers and opportunists looking to assault the local women. Yeah i am sure Julia Hobsbawm's Editorial Intelligence bloggers, who have invaded this site have won the debate again. [bold]Not[/bold]
