Who We AreAt Lonely Planet, we see our job as inspiring and enabling travelers to connect with the world for their own benefit and for the benefit of the world at large. What We Do- We offer travelers the world's richest travel advice, informed by the collective wisdom of over 350 Lonely Planet authors living in 37 countries and fluent in 70 languages.- We are relentless in finding the special, the unique and the different for travellers wherever they are.-We update our guidebooks by visiting thousands of places in person to get the details right and tell it as it is.- We always offer the trusted filter for those who are curious, open minded and independent.- We challenge our growing community of travelers; leading debate and discussion about travel and the world.- We tell it like it is without fear or favor in service of the travelers; not clouded by any other motive. What We BelieveWe believe that travel leads to a deeper cultural understanding and compassion and therefore a better world. ...the book was once designed purely for travelers on a shoestring, but the new edition also has listings for more sophisticated or affluent travelers who prefer not to go the do-it-yourself hostel route.' --USA Today
