8.Lonely Planet Publications is the largest guidebook publisher in the world.With over 650titles sold in 118countries,it annually sells six million copies,giving guidance to travelers in locations worldwide.Tony Wheeler and his wife Maureen Wheeler were the founders of Lonely Planet Publications and its first writers.They put together Lonely Planet's first publication-Across Asia on the Cheap.Originally from Australia,the couple had decided to travel from Europe back home to Australia overland-going through the countries of Iran,
Afghanistan,Pakistan,India,Nepal,and South-East Asia,to eventually reach Australia.Tourist facilitres were limited in these countries,so if travelers wanted to go there,they had to eat and sleep locally.Many of these travelers were young and adventurous,but they didn't have much money,so going local was the only way that they could afford to travel across Asia.Frustrated that there was no guidebook to give budget travelers information on accommodations,food,and transport in these regions,the Wheelers decided to write a guidebook themselves.Full of humor and strong opinions,the book became famous among backpackers-budget travelers-as the chief travel guide for Asia.It made enough money for the Wheelers to travel more and finance their second book about traveling in Southeast Asia on a Shoestring.
This second book became even more popular and acquired readership outside of Australia in North America,Europe,and New Zealand.Sales developed so well that the Wheelers were able to open up a publishing house in Australia,and eventually opened up offices in the United States and Europe.Because the guidebooks were based off contributing writer's experiences,material was fresh and up to date.As more and more books were written,the series finally came to cover every country in the world.
