Christchurch Travel Guide
Established by stiff upper lipped English settlers and known as the Garden City for its abundance of trees. Christchurch is a friendly city situated at the edge of the Canterbury plains. In February of 2011, this hardy city on New Zealand's South Island was destroyed by an earthquake. The recovery is in progress and bolstered, by the historic strength of the inhabitants. The business student youth culture and tourism industry are sure to assist in the rebuilding of the town. The top attractions in town are Cathedral Square, The Botanic Gardens, and Sumner Beach.

NZ is a great place to visit.
Different airlines fly there, but sadly Qantas who used to be a good airline, are now a budget airline. Choice magazine named Qantas the "Spirt of Disappointment" in Nov 2022. From my experience with Qantas over the last few years, Choice magazine has provided a fair assessment.
Fortunately, NZ still remains a great place to visit. I especially like their winter, where snow is great in the South Island. Time to start using other airlines than Qantas until Qantas can live upto the "Spirt of Australia" logo, which they have failed to do over several years.
Still, thank you New Zealand for being a great place to visit for business and also for pleasure.
