Take the Travel Unity Pledge
Why Take The Pledge?
The Travel Unity Pledge is a commitment to fostering a more inclusive, welcoming, and equitable travel industry for all. By taking the pledge, individuals and organizations signal their dedication to advancing diversity, removing barriers, and creating meaningful opportunities across the travel and tourism ecosystem. This shared commitment helps build a stronger, more representative industry—one where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to participate.
Signatories have shared the following as to why this pledge is important to them:
Because I want to keep reminding myself to do better and be accepting of others.
I’ve been observing, and then trying to impact positively on DEI issues for my entire career. As a society we all do better when diverse minds, viewpoints and experience backgrounds are brought to bear on any problem a planet, nation, community, family or individual wants to resolve. Ubuntu: I am, because we are.
I recognize that the only way to truly live up to my values and help create a more equitable and inclusive travel experience in my destination and beyond is to recognize and validate the experiences of others, and use my privilege and advantages to bring awareness and change to the challenges that others face.
