The popularity of the overland route declined when Iran's borders closed in 1979. cite journal Lonely Planet's first books catered to young people from Australia and Europe (mainly the UK) undertaking the overland Tourist facilities were limited in most of the countries en route, and low-budget tourism was unheard of.

As of 2007, the Wheelers announced that they planned to sell the majority share (75%) in the company to Lonely Planet's initial strength has caused some problems.
