10 ways you can donate to help the people of Ukraine


Just as the travel industry was starting to find its feet again as we emerge from the pandemic, the awful invasion of Ukraine is, first and foremost, a terrible humanitarian catastrophe. It is a tragedy that is sure to affect many industries, including travel and perhaps, in particular, luxury travel, but this needs to be put in perspective, as the loss of life, pain and suffering being brought upon so many innocent people overshadows any other incidental effects. So with this post I’m taking a moment to share with you 10 ways that you can help the people of Ukraine who are suffering from the heinous attack upon their country. In no particular order, here are some of the ways you can help.

    I sense that the free world will respond very generously. It was heartening to see the people of Berlin queueing to give refugees a home.
