Although IB does not dispute the license under which Wikitravel's content is published, the company has never provided database dumps or other convenient ways to export the data in bulk.

The API for database backups of Wikitravel was enabled until August 2nd, when it was disabled by IB. The Wikivoyage community has backups through then. (source)

Heh, I'm not quite right either: the API was disabled on August 9th, and most languages have backups from just before then. August 2nd was the last full backup available for EN, presumably because it's done less often due to size or something.
