So, we’re very proud to be recognised as a company that goes above and beyond, and we’re looking forward to working closely with Safer Tourism and other Pledge partners to continually improve when it comes to traveller safety.”
Safer Tourism Foundation’s CEO, Katherine Atkinson said, “We’re delighted to have easyJet holidays as a new Safer Tourism Pledge partner. easyJet holidays has grown incredibly quickly since it was established just before the Covid pandemic, and we were really impressed at the safety and risk management systems developed to manage that growth. We’re really looking forward to working with easyJet Holidays alongside all our Pledge partners, encouraging the sharing of good practice and working to resolve practical issues to prevent traveller harm.”
As a proud partner of the Safer Tourism Pledge, easyJet holidays joins a growing network of leading travel organizations committed to enhancing traveler safety. By collaborating with industry peers, the company aims to identify potential travel risks and implement proactive measures to prevent harm. Additionally, easyJet holidays will contribute anonymized travel incident data to the Safer Tourism Foundation, helping to establish a robust evidence base for understanding and addressing the root causes of preventable risks.
This initiative aligns with the recent efforts of the Safer Tourism Foundation, including the Pack Safe Appeal campaign, which encourages travelers to carry portable carbon monoxide alarms to ensure their safety while on the move.
