New free online travel guide: Wikivoyage

WIKIPEDIA has launched a free online global travel handbook.

Using a similar format to the popular internet encyclopedia, Wikivoyage.org can be edited by users and is funded by public donations.

The site already contains some 50,000 articles in nine languages, reports British newspaper The Times.

Visitors to the site can collate customised travel guidebooks suitable for printing, and the site also links to interactive map software.

The not-for-profit website faces stiff competition from, among others, the commercial Wikitravel, with which it is engaged in two lawsuits.

The new player in the market will also have to battle established sites by Lonely Planet and TripAdvisor.com.

The response to Wikivoyage.org has been mixed.

"I can imagine Wikivoyage being a part of someone's vacation research, but just a part," research analyst Andrew Warren-Payne told The Times.

"It's hard to see why this would be significantly disruptive - TripAdvisor et al did that years ago."
