It’s time to re-engage brains after the summer, and think about our Holiday Head. Did you do something on your holiday that you’d never usually do at home? Most of us will – at times – behave differently, or take a risk we wouldn’t do at home – just because we’re on holiday.
A backpacker at heart, Kathy Atkinson, CEO of the Safer Tourism Foundation, always assumed she was responsible for her own safety (and that of her family) when travelling. That doesn’t mean she has always made the best decisions. This tendency for all of us to think about risk differently when we are on holiday is a continual fascination for Kathy, who recently completed a Masters’ degree in behaviour change, partly to better understand people’s approach to risk.
Our webinar on Thursday 12 September will look at the ‘Holiday Head’ phenomenon, travellers’ inclination to behave differently when they travel than they would if they were at home. This is something that affects us all, not just the travellers we are organising a holiday for.
The Safer Tourism Foundation is an independent charity that aims to prevent serious harm, injury and deaths to people travelling, both at home and abroad. By collaborating with a wide range of partners, the Foundation works to develop practical solutions and influence consumer behaviour to help people stay safe and well on holiday.
