Lonely Planet has made eight redundancies in its Australian office, as the travel publisher moves away from "traditional book publishing to a multi-media travel services provider".
Lonely Planet could not confirm which positions had gone. However a spokesperson said the changes did not affect anyone in the UK.
The spokesperson added: "We've been very open saying we are moving from traditional book publishing to a multi-media travel services provider. Invariably this means we will be changing what we do. Sadly some roles will be affected however we are also creating new roles in digital editorial."
The eight roles had been "impacted by the restructure", but the spokesperson added, "where possible we will be trying to retain people in new roles and other opportunities".
