Lonely Planet's Director of Global Communications, Laura Lindsay, talks through the global travel authority's largest annual campaign - Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2018. The highly anticipated announcement of the world's hottest destinations that should feature on every traveller's wish-list for the year ahead. Drawing on the knowledge and passion of Lonely Planet’s staff, authors, and online community, it presents a year’s worth of inspiration to take travellers out of the ordinary and into the unforgettable – and firmly sets the travel agenda for 2018.

At this second CIM/LCF Marketing Club event you will hear first-hand how Lonely Planet draws on information from their self-confessed travel geeks, their staff, who collectively rack up hundreds of thousands of miles each year, exploring almost every destination on the planet.
