Lonely Planet is a company best-known for publishing travel guidebooks. It was founded in 1972 by Tony and Maureen Wheeler following good sales of their first title, Across Asia on the Cheap. Today the company runs travel-related websites and a television station as well as continuing to publish new and updated guidebooks. It has been 75% owned by BBC Worldwide since October 2007.
