Charitable Travel has partnered with global donation platform JustGiving, and will offer customers a wide range of holidays, hotels, flights and ancillary products in late April this year.
The focus is on trading with purely social objectives and raising money for charity at the same time.
Charitable Travel CEO Melissa Tilling, explained: ?Once our customer has confirmed their holiday, cruise or travel arrangements with our reservations team, we will invite them to click through to our bespoke donation platform, created by the experts at JustGiving, to donate an amount equal to 5% of the price of their travel arrangements to the charity of their choice.?
Tilling continued: ?Our donation site will offer the same flexible and easy to use JustGiving functionality to make a donation. One the 5% donation is confirmed we will deduct the same amount from the customers holiday price, meaning the customer has the holiday they want, made a donation to a great charity and spent no more money.?
JustGiving?s director, sales and partnerships, Marshall Simmonds, commented: ?The combination of the travel industry, an underlying social and charitable purposes and an effective mechanism for fundraising through JustGiving makes Charitable Travel a powerful opportunity for travel consumers wanting to make a real difference in personal giving at no extra cost when they book holidays, flights cruises and hotels.?
