Starting as a trickle in the late 1970s, when Bangkok was a terminus for the Asian hippie trail, an influx of backpackers became a tidal wave in the 1990s, transforming Khao San Road into the world's largest backpacker center.
Hong Kong's enduring image of a crowded cityscape of skyrise buildings belies the huge swathes of countryside that cover most of the territory, much of it managed as public parkland criss-crossed by walking trails.

(CNN) — The recent news that Lonely Planet Publications was shutting down its production offices in Melbourne and London almost entirely, and totally eliminating its widely admired magazine and all non-guidebook titles, didn't take me completely by surprise. With planes grounded, borders closed and people staying home all over the world in response to the Covid-19 health crisis, any business associated with travel and tourism is on its knees at this point. Still, having been a Lonely Planet guidebook author for 25 years, I feel it. I watched the company grow from a fledgling two-person start-up in the 1970s to an empire with more than 500 office staff on four continents. In the 1990s, when I was visiting LP's headquarters in Melbourne two or three times a year, a steady climb in sales and production forced the company to shift to a larger location three times. Thus for me, and I'm sure for many others who grew up hopping the globe with dog-eared guidebooks close at hand, the closure of Lonely Planet's original headquarters signals the end of an era.
