In 2018, 16% of patients were tourists – that equates to 131 adults and 30 children taking the trip they didn’t plan to take when they visited Cornwall. Despite this, less than 5% of donations to the charity came from the tourism sector – with your help we can change this. The charity urgently needs the support of local tourism businesses to raise the money to help save lives. We are asking you to highlight the value and importance of Cornwall Air Ambulance to your guests.
It’s Easy To Help, Here’s How…
-
Offer guests the option to add-on a donation when booking
-
Donate £1 for every new booking and donate the proceeds at the end of the season
-
Place donation envelopes in accommodation
-
Host a collection jar in reception and guest areas
-

Tourism Supporter: Cornish Horizons
“When we met the Cornwall Air Ambulance team we were in complete awe of the amazing work carried out by the charity and wanted to help raise some of the money it needs. We asked our customers to add £2 to the payment of their holiday so that we can pass on, in full, the total donation. We initially hoped to raise £3,500 but it ended up raising over £6,000, that’s over 3,000 holiday-makers who donated!” Harriet Wills, Marketing Manager at Cornish Horizons
