I saw your site and you are in a VERY competitive field here, that's already owned by the majors like travelocity and expedia as well as all the 'me too' sites. You're up against it and although I see what you're attempting, I just feel this niche area is a lost cause.

Well, after viewing your site I noticed the lack of content eg. 15, one page guides equal to the number of countries you're trying to cover here. Okay, it's a start, except you will need much more detailed info for visitors to stay at your site, never mind return visit.

Although it's not too bad, if I were you and I'm really suggesting that you're in the totally wrong niche here, I would select a different topic or at least target a further niche within your current one - or something where you can expand your offerings ten-fold, as you'll need the advantage to secure traffic etc. At the moment the site just isn't 'sticky' nor does it 'pull me' in and if you hope to monetise this then you'll have to find a way of solving that problem.

I noticed it displays the guides using a large layout, and it kinda looks too big for such a site (maybe it's just me), so I think a smaller, tighter look might serve you better. But you must add more content to fill it up as it looks very empty at first glance.

Content is what you need, but I think delving into a market that well established and owned already is a waste of time, especially if you intend to go the info publishing route and charge ad fees.
