Choice reviews of Lonely Planet: Colombia from Amazon.com {Gadling}
Apr 15th 2008 10:07AM
The question is if we need travel guides in 2008, when we have fellow travelers on-line that are more up to date than a book who was edited 2 years ago. In the case of backpacker places, not once I have found myself following the recommendation of "Lonely Planet" just to find out that the place has lost its reputation longtime ago. With TripAdvisor, WAYN and http://www.triptouch.com , one can find very easily up to date recommendations, travel mates and all the travel info one's need to get oriented while traveling .
Travel guides need to adjust to the new era, minimize their books size and be more up to date if they want to survive the travel 2.0 era.
