Lonely Planet has recently launched a travel Channel (www.youtube.com/lonelyplanet) on online video community YouTube.

The channel will feature a selection of the best travel videos from Lonely Planet's own online video-sharing website, LonelyPlanet.tv and exclusive content such as previews and behind-the-scenes footage from upcoming Lonely Planet Television shows.

The channel will launch with 20 videos from LonelyPlanet.tv, and new clips will be added every week.

Lonely Planet's own video sharing website LonelyPlanet.tv allows travellers to upload, watch, rate and share their own videos as well as watch videos created by Lonely Planet. Lonely Planet's Television production team uses the website to scout for new filmmaking talent and pays US$500 for the best videos uploaded to the site.
