Is this goodbye to Lonely Planet?
The Melbourne travel publisher is shedding staff – a sad turn for a company that once provided the must-have, down-to-earth guides for a generation of free-spirited travelers.
As news emerged that iconic Melbourne travel publisher Lonely Planet was to shed its editorial staff as part of an overhaul following its sale by the BBC, writers, travelers and daydreamers took to Twitter with the hashtag #lpmemories to share their sense of loss. The stream reads like an obituary to the heyday of travel writing, an honest ode of affection for the largest travel guide publisher in the world.
