Allan said, “Our audience already loves the smart, sophisticated and well researched stories from the BBC. BBC Travel builds on our news and documentary heritage with outstanding travel journalism and insights from Lonely Planet’s authors to inspire you to leave your desk and have an adventure whatever the destination.”
