The walking initiative, running from 6 – 31 October 2020, celebrates health and wellbeing within the Australia and New Zealand travel industry. Walk for Wellness utilises a free mobile phone app and encourages travel partners to get active and track their steps, while journeying around an interactive map of the world, reaching virtual global landmarks and completing fun weekly challenges, all alongside travel industry friends.

So far:

Over 500 Travel Partners: onboard to date, less than a week after registrations went live

Just 2 hours: taken for the first 100 Travel Partners to register and claim their “Walk for Wellness” T-shirt

40 NCL team members: have joined their valued Travel Partners in the challenge

200 T-shirts: being gifted – double the planned amount due to overwhelming early registration numbers

6 October: Start date for the 4-week challenge

10 October: World Mental Health Day

NCL has received fantastic responses from many Travel Partners who are excited to participate, including:

  • Thank you for giving us something positive to work towards that not only has a higher cause but also encourages us to do something for ourselves.  In a tough year, we can sometimes forget to look after our own health and wellbeing and appreciate the reminder to do so. Thanks, NCL for supporting this. Jean Summers-Reeves, Clean Cruising  
  • ‘I’m super excited to get this started – I love walking and hiking, so this sounds like a lot of fun!‘ – Marta Sejnohova Flight Centre Business Travel Bligh St 
  • ‘What a fabulous idea, thank you!‘ – Terri Bettany, Product Manager Cruise Guru
  • ‘Thanks heaps I think this is great for many reason, mental health is one of them too. The travel industry can certainly do with an extra moral boost right now, so this is perfect! .’- Megan Catterall, itravel Head Office
  • ‘This is a great idea. Glad I can be a part of it.’ – Gayle Dawson, Cruiseaway
