Amidst Lonely Planet Fallout, a New Generation of Guidebooks Emerge In light of long-time travel writer Thomas Kohnstamm's recent confession of unethical and radically unprofessional behavior while on the job for Lonely Planet in Latin America, VIVA Travel Guides, a guidebook company and online travel community based in Latin America, is proving there is a better way. "Similar to how Wikipedia has made a better encyclopedia, VIVA Travel Guides has made a better travel guide. By drawing on the collective wisdom of travelers who have recently been to a destination and creating books using print-on-demand technology, we can provide a guide that is far more accurate and up-to-date than the old school guidebook companies," says VIVA CEO Jason Halberstadt. - 2008-04-15
