LONELY PLANET
Lonely Planet fue fundada en 1973 por Tony y Maureen Wheeler tras un viaje por tierra desde Europa hasta Australia. Su primera guía, Across Asia on the Cheap, nació de la necesidad de compartir consejos prácticos con otros viajeros. La empresa creció rápidamente y se convirtió en una referencia mundial en guías de viaje, publicando más de mil títulos y vendiendo más de 150 millones de ejemplares. En 2007, los Wheeler vendieron la mayoría de la compañía a BBC Worldwide, y más tarde fue adquirida por Red Ventures. Con sede actual en Estados Unidos, Lonely Planet sigue ofreciendo contenido en libros, aplicaciones y medios digitales, promoviendo el respeto cultural, la aventura y la conexión entre personas a través del viaje.
