Travel Convention delegates urged to sign up for charity bike ride

Industry charity Abta LifeLine has urged delegates at this year’s Travel Convention in Marrakech to register for the conference’s charity bike ride while places last.

The cycle ride is supported by Intrepid Travel and Avis Budget Group and will be led by Intrepid’s female tour guides.

Proceeds will go to LifeLine and the Amal Association, a local non-profit organisation dedicated to the empowerment of disadvantaged women through restaurant training and placements, which will welcome riders for lunch.

LifeLine director Trudie Clements said: “The Abta LifeLine cycle ride has become a much-loved feature of the Travel Convention as it allows delegates to really get to grips with the host city while also giving back to the industry and showing their support for colleagues in need.

“By working with Amal, we’re also offering delegates the chance to uncover a different side to Marrakech and extend their support to an incredibly important cause within the host destination.”

This year’s ride will showcase two Unesco World Heritage Sites – the centuries-old Al-Manara Gardens and Agdal Gardens – in addition to exploring the traditional villages of The Palmary and visiting the second oldest golf course in Morocco.

Tickets cost £45 per person, including cycle hire, helmet, and lunch, with all proceeds going towards ABTA LifeLine and Amal.

Further details can be found at thetravelconvention.com/cycle-for-lifeline and tickets can be booked either at registration or by emailing moreinfo@thetravelconvention.com.
