A new mobile travel guide, known as Triposo, launched by two ex- Googlers, has almost completed the process of making travel books like Lonely Planet obsolete. Triposo, which was the brainchild of Jon Tirsen and Douwe Osinga, former Google employees, was unveiled on Thursday. The immensely popular Lonely Planet magazine was once the ultimate source of travel information, as it contained real life travel accounts of travellers who spent months at the various locations around the globe. Lonely Planet began to lose its market because of the recent advent of Internet travel blogs and online travel guides such as Tripadvisor and Wikitravel. Triposo threatens to further push back Lonely Planet, as it is based on Google's easy design with similar algorithm and indexing. Avid loyalists though, said that Lonely Planet does not need an internet connection!

A ranking of hotels in European and British cities has given the worst hotel ratings to London hotels. The study undertaken by Trivago covered the online hotel ratings in than a thousand European cities.
The study concluded with hotel ratings for London and Birmingham being 72.2 and 74.15 respectively out of a score of 100. Though the ratings get affected because London is an expensive city, such situations are also there for Madrid in Spain and Berlin in Germany where the hotel ratings have been better at 78.88 and 78.35 respectively.
Normally, it is concluded that the larger the size of the cities and their population, lower are the hotel ratings. However European cities of Dresden, Barcelona, Budapest and Florence contradict this belief as their hotel ratings of 79 and above prove, that big cities with large number of tourist footfalls, can still manage to have good hotel reputations.
