Thanks![edit]

Thanks for your edits on many destinations! They are much appreciated. Globe-trotter (talk) 22:45, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be useful to have an article or few about services and things (like municipalities or historical countries) that don't exist anymore.[edit]

To have an alphabetical list of services and things that no longer exist would be a way to honor those who entrepreneured in the field of travel and hospitality and didn't quite hack it. Here is an example of what I mean Jukeboksi (talk) 21:28, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a very long list. Do you have a cutoff date in mind?--Auric (talk) 21:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If it is too long it can be split into many articles Places that no longer exist, Lodging that no longer exist, Restaurants that no longer exist etc. etc. Jukeboksi (talk) 21:35, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That would help, somewhat.--Auric (talk) 21:36, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You two may be interested in the article about Ghost towns. Shops and services that don't exist anymore and have no traces that can be visited are totally off-topic for a travel guide, though. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:20, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Already on it: Jussarö is a mining ghost town on the Jussarö island south of Ekenäs. The only one in Finland. Jukeboksi (talk) 23:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's also Historical travel which includes subtopics like the long-lost Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as well as old towns and archaeological sites. K7L (talk) 01:26, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
