Asking myself since last week what I can do, what we all can do more... so here I'd like to start a discussion thread of ways the tourism industry can help Ukraine 💛 💙- and everyone in travel who is affected. Hands-on and real. After all, travel is about people, cultures, peace and freedom. And tech is again a great accelerator for the 🌍 to work together.
Personally, I am offering a free guest room in my home to a tourism or any other Ukraine student in need. Maybe there are more of us with a similar wish.
So far I have found these platforms / initiatives to join & support, and in travel, I'm sure there is more!
Please add in the thread if you know of any or have further ideas:

I'll still be in Bansko (Bulgaria) and probably go to the mountains and look at the fireworks in the town from above 🎆
That sounds ideal 😋
WHAT! This sounds like an amazing way to spend the New Year!! 😲
I'll be in Tasmania, probably doing a sunset swim at the beach, then drinking some local wine! NYE is always fun in this part of the world, being a year ahead of everyone for a few hours!
This sounds AMAZING! I've never been, and definitely on my radar.
In the middle of the jungle in Costa Rica. New little house just finished and plan to chink glasses with the monkey on our balcony in the trees.
I LOOOOVE this. Costa Rica is on my list for 2022. There are SO MANY places I want to go to there!!
Somewhere in Bangkok!
I looooove Bangkok! Tuk tuks included.
You can't go wrong!
I love hearing everyone's plans! WOW! I ALWAYS have plans, but this is the first year I threw them out the window! I have a feeling adventure will find me 😉
At home, spending time with Family together. But yea, if offered , I might just spring up pack my bags and leave for an exotic adventure
BEST response. I lost spontaneous travel 😉
Bushtime Festival, at Woodfordia. This is a folky art and music festival just outside Brisbane, Australia. Plenty of unique and quirky characters, which means plenty of fun conversations.
WHOA! I had to look this one up! Sounds so neat!
Just moved to Miami, will celebrate with bunch of tourists and New York refugees like me.
LOVE that. you're definitely in a good spot to celebrate!!
I will be in Venice for New Year, catching up with other food lover business women from Scotland and France. I arrive in November and staying on the Venice mainland until Christmas and after New Year. Fingers crossed for some snow!
Good question! I live in Oman so I may stay here and go camping/hiking or maybe book a flight! Hard to say at this point!
TBD, but maybe Boston
