dc.description.abstractIn the age of Wikitravel, TripAdvisor, and Google Maps, the tourist guidebook seems like an antiquated medium. For centuries, guidebooks served as trusted companions for travellers, providing a ‘mediating link’ between tourists and destinations. Yet after decades of booming sales from the 1960s to the 2000s the market for English-language travel guides shrank by 30–40 per cent between 2005 and 2011. The global financial crisis and the rapid growth of free, user-generated travel advice online appeared to spell the end of the printed travel guide. Industry observers declared it dead and its history ‘bookended’.en_US
