Hospitality Rides has announced a revised destination for this year’s fundraising challenge, following new UK government guidelines advising only essential travel to Cuba. In light of this update, the organisers have taken the difficult but necessary decision to switch the event to Vietnam.
The travel dates remain unchanged, taking place from 18th to 25th April 2026. The challenge will see the 30 fundraisers from across the hospitality industry – including Tristan O’Hana from H2O Publishing – take on 400km of rough terrain, all to raise vital funds for two incredible industry charities, Only A Pavement Away and the Licensed Trade Charity.
‘Essential causes’
Katy Moses, ride founder and managing director of Kam, said: "This decision was not taken lightly. Nor was it an easy task! Our primary commitment is the safety of our fundraisers and support staff. Following ongoing consultation with Action Challenge, our organisation support, it has become clear that we cannot guarantee unimpeded travel or the logistical support required to execute the ride safely.
“I am certain that Vietnam will offer an equally rewarding – and gruelling! – challenge for our riders. Our focus now is to rally the trade behind our fundraising efforts.
“Our sector continues to face significant hardships, and the support provided by Only A Pavement Away and the Licensed Trade Charity is more vital than ever. The destination has changed, but our ambition remains the same: to raise over £500k for these essential causes."
