At 17, Alison sustained life-changing injuries that reshaped her future – just as they have for so many others. She understands the challenges, the pain of adjustment, and the profound journey of rebuilding a life – not only for the individual but also for their loved ones, whose lives are equally and deeply affected. Alison’s role is one of the most important in travel and hospitality today… crafting inclusive products and services with our valued partner brands and showcasing and selling them to an audience who have the ambition and resources to travel… if only we can give them trust and confidence to do so.
