House of Travel commercial director Brent Thomas said the travel agency is not aware of many cancellations of trips to Christchurch. While some business travellers have cancelled trips this week, others have booked last-minute trips to support colleagues, he said. A search on Booking.com on Monday afternoon found that 96 per cent of properties in Christchurch city centre were reserved for Monday and Tuesday nights, with just 19 properties remaining. The Christchurch Tramway, Tramway Restaurant, river punting, gondola rides, Canterbury Museum, Quake City, Christchurch Art Gallery, Willowbank, Orana Park, the Antarctic Centre, Airforce Museum and Botanic Gardens are all open.
