LonelyPlanet Releases New Travel Guides
Posted on: May 30th, 2008 by Emily PenbrynEvery month, more than five million travelers visit LonelyPlanet.com to get up to date information on thousands of travel destinations. The website has just announced the release of new travel guides to make your next journey even more exciting and memorable. The travel guides feature a wide variety of locations to please every traveler’s sense of adventure. Some destinations include: Tanzania, where traveler’s can witness wildebeest migration firsthand or take a trip over the Serengeti in a hot air balloon. Southeast Asia on a Shoestring is the guide known as The Yellow Bible, the guide that inspired LonelyPlanet. Munich and Bavaria are guaranteed to bring images of fairytales and magical lands. Austria’s guide will give you insight to the unsurpassed beauty of the mountains while guides to Bulgaria and Mongolia will allow you to take an unusual peak at picturesque landscapes, stunning architecture and cool cafes. The guide to Egypt will allow you to be up close and personal to the awe-inspiring pyramids and the palace of Cleopatra. There are guides for more commonplace – but still fantastic – locales, such as Yellowstone National Park, Canada, Chicago, and the Grand Canyon, all from the point of view of people in the know.
Along with purchases over $40, LonelyPlanet is offering a free language guide for a limited time. See LonelyPlanet for details.
LonelyPlanet is one of the largest travel sites in the world. Founded by Tony and Maureen Wheeler, LonelyPlanet is a rare resource for travelers who want to tap into information from other travelers, learning all the ins and outs as well as personal experiences rather than the standard jargon written by someone who has never left the house. If that isn’t enough, check out the forums on the website for one to one advice on your next trip.
