What The Industry
Say About Linkd
Working with Linkd Tourism has been an absolute pleasure. The team embraces accessible and inclusive tourism in all its forms and puts it at the heart of their business. There is no tokenistic inclusion, Linkd shows incredible leadership in this area and is filling a gap in the tourism industry.
Julie Jones
I’ve worked for over 20 years in the Australian travel industry in my job as a travel writer and it’s a great relief to work with a company like Linkd. I love working with their team and know they understand everything about the industry and what I really require from them. They’re knowledgeable, approachable and are great at presenting me with angles and ideas I wouldn’t have thought of. Nothing’s ever too much trouble – I wish everything in the industry was as easy as working with Linkd!
