Created in partnership with Hodder & Stoughton publishing, Kuoni has launched a new adventure hub designed to ‘keep the spirit of worldwide travel alive’ during lockdown.
The hub features work by TV presenters and explorers Simon Reeve, Levison Wood and Megan Hine, who share stories from their books about their adventures around the world.
Kuoni CEO Derek Jones said: “We may not be able to travel right now, but we want to continue to inspire people to have adventures when it’s safe to travel again.
“Over the years Simon Reeve has become a great friend to us at Kuoni and a well-known face on our television screens, sharing the light and shade of destinations around the world.
“Along with Levison Wood and Megan Hine, we’re sharing some of their stories which will we hope will bring some adventure to our life in lockdown.”
People will be able to download free chapters from their books, listen to podcasts on soundcloud and view short video clips.
