Lonely Planet Provides Online Advice and Resources for Travellers to NZ

In response to the Christchurch earthquake, Lonely Planet is featuring advice and additional resources on its lonelyplanet.com website to assist travellers to New Zealand.

A dedicated branch on the website’s online bulletin board, the Thorn Tree, has been established to provide a forum for the online travel community to post questions and share updates on the situation (e.g.“How will the earthquake affect my visit to NZ?”, “What damage has been sustained?”):
