Help us calm the coronavirus panic
TravelMole is appealing for news, comment and other content from the travel industry community that might help to stem consumer panic about the coronavirus.
With so much misinformation and some sensationalised coverage of the virus, TravelMole wants to paint a more realistic picture of the impact of the virus on travel and tourism in a bid to instil some calm.
"We hope to give some much-needed balance and reassure people about their travel plans by sharing reports, videos and photographs from the industry on our daily newswire and on our social media channels," said TravelMole editor in chief Bev Fearis.
"This could be from companies in the UK who are continuing to operate as usual and who are running special incentives or offers, or from partners who are on the ground in resorts where life goes on as usual. We want to help show that, based on the advice of the Foreign Office and health authorities, there is absolutely no need for vast majority of the travelling public to cancel or postpone their trips.
"We know that TravelMole’s news coverage is closely followed by the mainstream consumer media, who use our daily newswire to keep up with what’s happening in travel and tourism, so we hope this might influence their reporting and help put things into perspective."
If you have anything you’d like to share, please email us at [email protected], message us through Facebook or Tweet us @TravelMole.
We are pleased to be supporting our friends in the travel industry at this tough time.
