A NEED for financial aid and essential supplies for Vanuatu has led CLIA Australasia to set up an appeal to provide assistance from the cruising community.
The organisation this week sent a bulletin to its 1,250 members across Australia and New Zealand seeking donations to help the Red Cross on the ground in Vanuatu.
“The Australian cruise industry has a long-standing relationship with the wonderful people of Vanuatu, who have made so many of our holidaymakers so welcome over the years and so we are very keen to help them at this time of dire need,” CLIA said.
CLIA is welcoming donations from the travel industry to be put towards the relief effort through the delivery of first aid, sanitation, clean water and health care.
