It’s a Lonely Planet for BBC.com

BBC.com has launched a travel module featuring information from the Lonely Planet Website.

The BBC.com travel module appears on the BBC.com homepage for users outside the UK. Also available, a ‘latest from Lonely Planet’ section displaying three selected stories from LonelyPlanet.com. The idea is to give BBC.com readers ideas tools to plan, book and share travel experiences.

And, not to be U.S.-centric here, but considering the US Dollar is coming back in line with the Pound and Euro, the timing is pretty good.
