country guide

Nation tourism handbook

A country guide is a reference work or resource providing practical information about a nation—its geography, culture, customs, transportation, and attractions.

The term typically applies to travel guides: I picked up a country guide before my trip to Portugal.

It can also refer to a person who leads tours or provides local expertise within a country.
