Tourism Wikis: The world according to the crowd

August 14, 2008 | Online Travel

As travelers become more Internet-savvy, they're turning increasingly to travel wikis and online travel communities for the most up-to-date, reliable information available. The appeal of a wiki is that it's constantly updated and provides varying points of view.

It used to be that travelers looking for the hippest getaway, the coziest hotel, or the best restaurant had to rely solely on travel guidebooks, which were often out of date by the time they were published.

The Web, however, has spawned a new destination for those seeking travel information: travel wikis and online communities.

Created by travelers, for travelers, these sites offer travel stories, tips, observations and reviews, as well as networking opportunities for those who share a love of the open road.
