The Travel Industry Gives Back to Frontline Healthcare Workers

As a way to say thank you to the frontline healthcare workers who are fighting to keep our communities safe, hotels and resorts around the world have teamed up to offer special perks and unique packages for these everyday heroes who deserve a much-needed escape.

On the dedicated Say Thanks With Travel website, offers include flexible cancellation policies and broad travel windows, making it easier than ever to give the gift of travel to someone who deserves it most. From a dose of ’Soul Therapy in St. Lucia’ to your third night free in Turks & Caicos, there’s an idyllic getaway out there for every well-deserving medical professional. It’s just one way we can help support the Frontline Healthcare Workers during these crucial times.
