Travel industry aids victims of Haiti earthquake

As the magnitude of the Haiti earthquake continues to unfold, the travel industry is reacting by setting up fundraising initiatives for disaster relief and recovery for the victims in the area.

Below are a couple examples of the services and aid being provided by travel companies worldwide.

Royal Caribbean International's Independence of the Seas will carry relief supplies to Labadee, Haiti, Friday and the line plans to send additional relief on the Navigator of the Seas and the Liberty of the Seas on Monday and Tuesday. John Weis, RCCL's associate vice president of private destinations and overseer of Labadee operations, wrote on Royal Caribbean CEO Adam Goldstein's blog, "We are committed to continuing calls to Labadee with Independence of the Seas tomorrow. Labadee is critical to Haiti's recovery and hundreds of people rely on Labadee for their livelihood."
