Asking myself since last week what I can do, what we all can do more... so here I'd like to start a discussion thread of ways the tourism industry can help Ukraine 💛 💙- and everyone in travel who is affected.

Personally, I am offering a free guest room in my home to a tourism or any other Ukraine student in need. Maybe there are more of us with a similar wish.
So far I have found these platforms / initiatives to join & support, and in travel, I'm sure there is more!

Got my tickets! Thanks for organizing it.
The pleasure is all mine.
I´d love to attend Travel Massive ITB this year, but I can´t travel to Berlin on those dates. Is there a way to follow some of the sessions remotely?
Yes, looks like ITB has an online livestreamed version and digital tickets: www.itb.com/en/besuchen/tickets/
