Seven Seas Worldwide and YHA New Zealand Team Up to Solve Baggage Crisis in Christchurch
The devastating earthquake in Christchurch in February of this year resulted in many visitors to the city being separated from their baggage. YHA New Zealand is working with Seven Seas Worldwide to reunite as many bags with owners as possible.
Online, June 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The team at YHA New Zealand, a member of the International Youth Hostels Federation, are performing the thankless task of identifying individual items of lost luggage currently in their possession after the terrible events of the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011.
Visitors and tourists who were unfortunately parted from their baggage during this chaotic period could soon be contacted by YHA New Zealand and reunited with their bags, suitcases and assorted luggage.
The renowned international shipping company Seven Seas Worldwide is assisting YHA New Zealand in its task. With many depot locations all over the world, Seven Seas Worldwide provides the perfect global network for sending items and excess baggage overseas.
When asked about why they decided to take part, Seven Seas Worldwide director John Henderson replied "We have the staff and the resources in New Zealand to help the YHA with their very admirable mission. We're doing what we can to make sure all lost baggage is boxed up safely and delivered to the door of the recipient wherever they may be in the world. After all, sending baggage abroad is our business. It's what we're good at."
YHA New Zealand hopes to continue their partnership with the Seven Seas team until all consignments have been successfully taken care of.
