World Supporter CV

'What we contribute to the World'

Help & Inspire

Founded by the British couple Tony and Maureen Wheeler in 1973, Lonely Planet guides have assisted millions of travellers crossing borders and culteral barriers.
Lonely Planet is aware of possible negative impacts of tourism and tries to overcome these. As a company, they have committed to ensuring all their staff travel is 'carbon neutral' by paying to offset the carbon emissions of their airline flights through the pro-environment projects of ClimateCare.

"Today, more than ever, we're utterly convinced of the incredible importance of travel. It's only through travelling, through meeting people that we begin to understand that we're all sharing this world. We are all coming along for the ride, despite the barriers which governments, religions and economic and political beliefs often seem to build up between us."
