Trafalgar is continuing its beach clean-up efforts globally, as part of its JoinTrafalgar initiative to ensure that travel today will sustain tomorrow by helping people, investing in places and caring for the planet.
Following the success of the Australian beach clean-up at the Hermitage Bay Foreshore in Vaucluse earlier in the month, where the Trafalgar team covered 2 kilometres of shore as part of its annual conference, CEO Gavin Tollman pledged to make this a global initiative. “The positive impact on the team and sense of community we felt together was astounding. Clearing one of Australia’s greatest treasures, it’s beaches, was something small we could do to give back to this incredibly beautiful country and this is just the beginning. It is here at Hermitage Bay, we knew, we had much more work to do” said Tollman.
Last week Trafalgar Partnered with Flight Centre and Sustainable Coastlines in New Zealand to clean up Evans Bay in Wellington, which was riddled with small plastics. Together, the team including Trafalgar CEO – Gavin Tollman, TTC Australia CEO – John Veitch, Trafalgar MD – Matthew Cameron smith with Josh Duncan and Jason Wolff of Flight Centre collected eight bags of rubbish from its pristine coastline.
Cameron-Smith adds “It was remarkable to see the amount of rubbish when you come up close, to what seemingly appears to be a unspoiled beach from afar and comprehend the enormity of the issue when looking at it from a global scale. We look forward to working with all our agent partners on more JoinTrafalgar initiatives just like this.”
