Rapid Mobilization of Travel Industry in
Response to Haiti Crisis

Haiti Earthquake

IIPT wishes to express its deep sorrow and sympathy to the people of Haiti and their loved ones around the world – and particularly to the thousands of Haitians who have lost members of their families. IIPT, as with other members of the travel and tourism industry, stands in solidarity with the people of Haiti at this time of need. Airlines, hotel chains, cruise lines and others involved in the travel industry have been quick to respond in an effort to help this struggling Caribbean nation.

Just A Drop Help HaitiA critical immediate and on-going need is for clean safe water and sanitation. ‘Just a Drop’ - an IIPT Partner, is currently rallying the travel industry to provide water and water related services to Haiti. Fiona Jeffery, Founder and Chairman of Just a Drop as well as Chairman of World Travel Market asks you to: “Help us to help them by supporting our JUST HELP HAITI Appeal by making a donation here TODAY.” Click here for more details

Airline AmbassadorsIIPT Partner Airline Ambassadors International (AAI) is currently one of the only NGOs with logistics on the ground. AAI has 80,000 pounds of tents, blankets, water filtration, “meals ready to eat,” and other emergency supplies in Denver. They are currently talking with several airlines about getting flights to Haiti and working with Southcom (Southern Command US Army) on the ground to meet flights and get the supplies to the right place.
