Quake Break!

Christchurch families are being offered a half price Family Pass out to the Poor Knights Islands to recharge and reconnect. A family of four is $175 for a full day of snorkeling and kayaking.

Recognising that many Christchurch and Canterbury residents will be seeking some ‘time out’ to recover from the earthquake, tourism operators around the country are offering opportunities for them to get away.

A number of accommodation, transport and activity providers have already made special offers to people from the region hit by the earthquakes.

Tim Cossar says TIA has today set up a Quake Break Facebook page where any operator or members of the public are welcome to post offers.

“We understand that many people are exhausted and traumatised by the events of this week, so we want to do all we can to help them recover from their ordeal. A short break could help them face up to the recovery with new energy.”

New Zealand Hotel Council chair Jennie Langley is sure operators will get behind the initiative.

“This is one way that the wider tourism industry can offer concrete assistance to Christchurch and Canterbury people. The sooner we can help them get back to normal, the better.”
