Wikivoyage relaunched under Wikimedia
Scooch up TripAdvisor and make room for Wikivoyage – Wikpedia’s ‘free worldwide travel guide that anyone can edit’.

This crowdsourced destination site works on the same basis at Wikipedia using a tool called a wiki which lets any internet reader create, update, edit, and illustrate any article on the Web site. Users share knowledge bytes, edit them, distill them, and assemble them into a pleasing and cohesive whole. The more people that use the Edit link, the better Wikivoyage becomes.

Wikivoyage started on 10th December 2006 relaunched under Wikimedia on January 15, 2013.

Wikivoyage is built with the ‘spirit of sharing knowledge that makes travel so enjoyable’. Whenever travellers meet each other on the road, they swap info about the places they came from and ask questions about places they''re going. The idea is to make it easy to share that knowledge and let others share it; their copyleft license means that the facts you know can spread far and wide.
