Charitable Travel and Sustainable Journeys Founder & CEO Melissa Tilling has passed away suddenly
Melissa Tilling passed away suddenly over the weekend; her family has advised.
The family paid this tribute “Melissa was an extremely loved daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She will be sorely missed by all of us, and I am sure within the travel industry to which she devoted her life.”
Melissa Tilling, an industry veteran of over 30 years, is known for bringing positive change to the travel industry through her roles at private enterprises, social entities and charities. Her unique company Charitable Travel, formed in 2020 during the pandemic, was a game-changer and more recently her innovative new tour operation Sustainable Journeys, which focused on making environmentally and ethically responsible travel more accessible.
Ally Ware, Head of Marketing at Charitable Travel also paid this tribute: “Melissa was a well-known, highly respected and much-loved member of the industry and will be a huge loss to many, both professionally and personally. Her passion for creating a better, more sustainable travel industry was contagious and unwavering, and I sincerely hope that her legacy will serve to inspire others to continue delivering travel as a force for good.”
In business terms, in due course, all of Melissa Tillings’ business affairs will be managed by her family whilst they come to terms with their loss.
Charitable Travel customers with upcoming bookings have been contacted. Bookings will be handled as normal through the TTNG Worldchoice Group.
