Intrepid Travel has launched an emergency Morocco earthquake appeal through its not-for-profit, the Intrepid Foundation.
It will match all donations up to £50,000.
All funds raised will go directly to grassroots organisations on the ground providing emergency relief Morocco was hit with a 6.8 magnitude earthquake which has devastated parts of the country.
More than 2,100 people have been killed in the Morocco earthquake.
The Intrepid Foundation established the appeal to provide support to its long-term local NGO partners in Morocco,
These are Education for All and the High Atlas Foundation who work with local communities.
This includes providing essential provisions such as food, shelter, clean water, and medical supplies.
As well as donation matching up to £50,000 it will cover the foundation’s administrative costs, enabling 100% of donations to be sent where it is needed.
“The Morocco earthquake is the most devastating to hit the country in over a century,” said Biheng Zhang, Intrepid Foundation GM.
“By supporting this appeal, it directly helps with emergency relief and support,”
Morocco is one the tour operator’s biggest destinations globally.
Intrepid Travel offers 33 tours in Morocco, with a major office in Marrakech and nearly 80 local team members.
The Foreign Office issued a new travel advisory for Morocco.
Flights to and from the UK are operating normally with airlines likely to add extra seats to get holidaymakers home.
“Travellers wishing to change their flight plans should liaise direct with their tour operators or airline,’ it said.
The UK has sent search & rescue teams to Morocco to help.
Alison Cryer, founder of Representation Plus, says travel partners should encourage clients to continue their plans where it is safe to do so.
“There are still many areas unaffected by the disaster that visitors can change their plans to visit, helping the country to maintain their tourism revenues,” she said.
“To help the people in the High Atlas Mountains join the the Charitable Travel Fund appeal.”
