We’re constantly monitoring the situation from our 28 offices around the world; it’s our job to ensure agents have the most up-to-date information to help clients stay safe.
While the situation must be taken seriously, during our 30 years in tourism, we’ve dealt with similar situations – Sars, Zika, Ebola. In our experience, the panic usually subsides once the initial fear dissipates. We hope this is the case this time too.
We still firmly believe travel is incredibly safe. As pioneers of community tourism, we believe travel can be the greatest form of wealth distribution the world has seen. As much as we have a commitment to our travellers, we also have a commitment to the communities that tourism benefits.
