Emergency fund launches Global Travel Market by for Australian bush fires

Global Travel Market is launching an emergency fund for those suffering in the fires which have swept across Victoria in Australia.

Chief executive Dave Simmons has reactivated the emergency Travel Aid 50 account, which was set up in response to the tsunami in 2004, and has kick-started the collection with a £1,000 donation.

Now, he is appealing to other travel industry companies to give as much as they can to help the victims of the fires which started on Saturday and have killed at least 200 people and left thousands homeless after 5,000 homes were destroyed.

He added: “These numbers are expected to increase dramatically over the coming days.

“Whilst I am sure that we are all confronting challenges of our own from the current trading environment, this type of disaster simply puts everything into perspective. Any donation, however large or small, I am sure would be greatly received.”

Simmons said all money collected will be donated to charities nominated by Tourism Victoria. Anyone wishing to donate to the charity should send a cheque made out to Travel Aid 50 to Travel Aid 50, c/o Global Travel Market, 6th Floor Regal House, 70 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3QS.

Meanwhile the Qantas Group has donated more than £45,000 to the 2009 Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund which also aims to support individuals and communities affected by the weekend’s bushfires.

If you are going on travel then you should mind following tips to prevent the hassles during journey.

• To beat jetlag, book an overnight flight or one that arrives in the evening when traveling east so you can either catch your sleep on the flight or as soon as you get in to your destination.

• After September 11, airlines follow very strict security procedures. So make sure you reach the airport for check in well before departure time. It is best to check with the airline regarding how much in advance you should be at the airport.

• Overbooking is a fact of life in the airline industry. If you are not in a particular hurry to get to your destination then volunteer to give your seat up and take the next flight. The airline will provide you a hotel room and other frills, so you can end up having an extended vacation at the airlines expense!
