Travel industry employees are being urged to “not ignore the importance of mental wellbeing” and take part in a series of sessions next week focusing on the subject.

A green ribbon is the international symbol for mental health awareness

The #Ribbonfortravel initiative hopes to raise awareness of the mental health challenges facing travel staff amid the Covid crisis and offer support to those in need.

A week-long programme of events features group discussions and interviews with industry leaders and will be held across Zoom, LinkedIn and Clubhouse.

All those working in the travel sector are welcome to attend. 

The week has been created by Riaan van Schoor, chief executive of Agentivity, alongside Andy Cairns, co-founder of Ravl and Daniel Hayward, director of travel operations at Total Management Group.
