Doey Mulligan
‘Inclusive’ InteleTravel is the perfect fit for me, and here’s why

Doey Mulligan joined InteleTravel on the first day it launched in Ireland, almost three years ago in February 2023. The fact that Valentine’s Day is her anniversary date is a happy coincidence given how she has fallen in love with her roles as both a travel advisor and inclusivity ambassador with the travel company.

She was previously aware of InteleTravel operating in the UK, and with a background in project management, she did a lot of research when she heard it was coming to Ireland, where she lives, in Monaghan.

Agents seek fellow neurodivergent travel professionals to join support and discussion group

The agents, Travel Without Limits’ Ben Langsdale, Travel Counsellors’ Helen Maltby and One Travel Club’s Carol DeMartini, all agreed they would like to meet other neurodivergent travel agents, as this can be a challenge.

Langsdale set up the Facebook group (Neurodivergent Travel Professionals - Discussion & Support Group) this month after his interview with TTG. He hopes if the group gains momentum, there may be scope for off-line meet-ups too.

'My top tip to help agents sell to neurodivergent travellers like me'

Allie Mason read an article in Women’s Health magazine that changed her life, back in 2019. The article was a personal piece written by a journalist who had thought she suffered from depression and anxiety but was, in fact, autistic.

“I thought, I’m in the same camp,” says Allie. “I’m being treated for depression and anxiety – I missed a lot of my schooling and my degree because of this – and I’m just not getting any better.”
