'''Wikitravel''' | '''Wikitravel''' — a [[wiki]] [[:Category:Travel guide|travel guide]], founded in [[:Category:FoundedIn2003|2003]] by [[Evan Prodromou]] (and others), now currently owned by {{tag|Internet Brands|Internet Brands, Inc.}}, is an [[:Category:Advertising|ad]]-supported ([[:Category:GoogleAds|GoogleAds]]) free, [[:Category:Earth|world]]-wide [[:Category:Travel|travel]] guide in many [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]]. They have several thousand destination guides, and other articles written and edited by [http://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel:Wikitravellers 'Wikitravellers'] from around the globe (some of whom just sit at home describing what's good about their surroundings). <!-- Wikitravel wikis support the [[:Category:OpenID|OpenID]] universal log-in. -- well it did until the March 2013 software upgrade--> | ||
One of the more interesting [http://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel:Goals_and_non-goals project goals] is to create destination guides which are useful as printouts, i.e., not always linking to sub-pages, but distilling the most useful information about each travel destination.

As of early 2013, [[:Category:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]] has become an integral new project of the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] (WMF) – and whilst the two sites (Wikitravel and Wikivoyage) still co-exist, Wikitravel has declined in its quality of editing. As a seemingly act of desparation, on the main front page of the English Wikitravel, there is a prominent claim – ''"(Wikitravel) ... is the premier travel wiki on the Internet"'' – with a link to an off-site publication, namely Time.com. However, the content contained within that Time link is extremely stale and out-dated; it was published in 2007 under the title: "50 Best Websites 2008"!
