Meet Rebecca, our Senior Product Executive...

"I’ve been with World Travel Holdings UK for 16 years this August and have loved every minute of my time here!

I’ve worked in our Product department now for as long as I can remember, and I LOVE what I do! There is nothing better than finding great deals and seeing when customers book those offers. There is a fantastic working environment and a great team of people who I get to collaborate with daily.

Being in our Product department I’ve had a chance to experience many fantastic trips on some amazing ships! My most recent trips being on-board Seabourn Venture, an expedition ship visiting some of Scotland’s most remote islands, truly some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.

Last November I got to travel to Italy and Dubrovnik on-board Seven Seas Grandeur, a brand new ship for Regent Seven Seas Cruises. This was an amazing experience with a chance to see their very own Faberge Egg.

As I’ve been with the company for so long I’ve had a chance to build up some great employee benefits including additional annual leave, additional concession and other fantastic benefits. My favourite of course is the concession, after being here for 16 years it really adds up."

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and at World Travel Holdings UK we're celebrating the power of movement in boosting our well-being! 💪 Whether it's a brisk walk, a dance session or some yoga stretches, it all helps towards reducing stress, boosts mood, and enhances clarity. 🚶‍♂️ 💃 🧘‍♀️

Did you know that regular movement brings a bundle of benefits:

🌀 Improved circulation: Boosting blood flow means more nutrients, oxygen and hydration reaching our cells, including those in the brain.
🍉 Better metabolism: Pairing movement with a balanced diet helps stabilise blood sugars, keeping mood swings at bay.
💡 Enhanced clarity: Movement supports brain protein production for sharper thinking.
😁 Serotonin & endorphins: These mood boosters soar with regular exercise, shaping our world view and happiness levels.
🍃 Feel-good hormones: Especially when surrounded by nature, movement sparks those happy hormones.

How do you make movement a priority in your day?

01/05/2024

Did you know that today marks the start of National Walking Month? 🚶‍♂️

We're excited to share a photo of some of our dedicated team members gearing up to embrace this challenge! 😁
