National Lost Penny Day seeks to change our poor attitudes toward the copper coin and find a good use for it.

Catch up with the latest GTO News update!

It's surprising that Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is still claiming many lives, and a large proportion of these incidents are preventable. How could you prevent and mitigate risk as an individual or company? It could be as simple as carrying or installing a CO detector costing as little as £20, with a lifespan of four to ten years. #CarbonMonoxide #CarbonMonoxidePoisoning #Risk #Prevent #SaferTourismFoundation

✈ 🚢 The UK market for travel, from Office of National Statistics data, represents $76.7 billion spent in 2022 alone. And by the end of 2024, an optimistic projection for outbound tourism would reach 86.9 million trips! And with the European Green Deal pushing for a carbon-neutral continent by 2050, the travel industry is definitely going to need to do its part as it plays a massive part in shaping the planet’s sustainability agenda. Through a blend of innovation and responsibility, the steadily growing industry is striving to minimize its environmental footprint and reimagine how it operates, from embracing fuel-efficient transportation options to adopting eco-friendly practices in accommodations.  🌿 We, at Communities for Nature, want to help “traveling for good” become even easier for people around the world by partnering with Charitable Travel, a unique social enterprise that goes above and beyond the traditional travel agency business model. They focus on purpose over profit, donating surplus profit from all sales to charity; with 5% of the holiday price to the charity of choice. 🏖 🌍 Learn more about our partner Charitable Travel and how you can include Communities for Nature in planning your holiday! https://lnkd.in/gnTagjBj

As an Airbnb Virtual Assistant focused on guest communication, I know that empathy and patience are essential for creating positive guest experiences. In a world where challenges are common, showing compassion and being a listening ear can make all the difference. To hosts managing themselves or to Virtual Assistants handling communication, here are some gentle reminders: - Stay patient with guests, even if they ask repetitive questions. - Recognize that guests might require reassurance or extra support during their travel planning. - Respond with kindness and empathy, ensuring every guest feels valued and heard. I'm Charity, and together, we can build a warm and understanding atmosphere that transforms inquiries into unforgettable stays for your guests. #AirbnbHosts #Airbnbsuperhost #superhost #propertymanagers #EmpathyMatters #GuestCommunication #HappyGuests

#FridayQuote #Travelquote #lifequote “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ― Mark Twain #concierge #travel #conciergeservices #lifestyle #luxurytravel #personalassistant #vip #conciergeservice #yourkeytoeverything #luxurylife #hotel #conciergelife #lifestylemanagement #vacation #personalconcierge

My question is what is the rocket science in the Caribbean, Africa and Latin America that prevents these regions from seeing how this unified approach makes economic and political sense? Is there a curse of the developing and emerging economies that blinds them from appreciating that size matters? Will we always prefer to blame the members of these blocks, who become economic powers, for the fact that we prefer to show up at their doors for charitable grants and lifetime membership to the “borrowing and can’t pay back club?” https://lnkd.in/e9i3Ym3b
