Lonely Planet biography

Lonely Planet is a travel guide publisher that was founded in 1972 by Tony and Maureen Wheeler. The couple decided to start the company after embarking on a trip across Asia. The company has since grown to become one of the world’s largest travel guide publishers and has published over 100 million books in 14 different languages. Lonely Planet guides offer travel advice, recommendations for things to do and places to see, and information about local culture. In addition to books, Lonely Planet also has a website that offers travel advice, articles, and booking services. The website is a go-to resource for travelers and has a vast community of users who contribute content and share their experiences. Lonely Planet also offers a range of products, including travel accessories and gifts, to enhance the travel experience.

Lonely Planet controversies

Lonely Planet has faced some controversies over the years. In 2010, the company was accused of providing misleading information in one of its travel guides. The guidebook in question suggested that the region of Tibet was an independent state, which offended Chinese officials. As a result, the Chinese government banned sales of all Lonely Planet books in the country. The company apologized and promised to correct the error in future editions. In 2013, Lonely Planet was criticized for its decision to outsource the writing of its guidebooks to freelance writers. Some critics argued that this resulted in a decline in the quality of the content and a lack of consistency between different guidebooks. However, Lonely Planet defended its decision, arguing that it allowed the company to get a wider range of perspectives and to be more responsive to changes in the travel industry.

Lonely Planet partner

Maureen Wheeler is the co-founder of Lonely Planet, the travel guide company that she started with her husband Tony Wheeler. Born in England in 1936, Maureen took an early interest in travel and adventure. She met Tony while they were both students at the London School of Economics, and together they embarked on a journey across Asia that would change their lives forever. After returning from their trip, Maureen and Tony decided to start a company that would provide travel advice to other adventurers. They began by writing their first guidebook, Across Asia on the Cheap, which they sold out of their car in Australia. The book was an instant success, and Lonely Planet was born. Maureen played an instrumental role in building Lonely Planet into the global brand that it is today. She helped to edit and write guidebooks, and also oversaw the company’s finances and operations. While Tony became the public face of the company, Maureen worked behind the scenes to ensure that Lonely Planet remained true to its mission of providing independent and honest travel advice. Her contributions were recognized in 2004 when she was made a Member of the Order of Australia for her services to the publishing industry.
