If A is for accessibility, putting the A in DEI is a good IDEA! You* could be part of it. https://lnkd.in/dhqs_dWk Our partner, City Destinations Alliance, and Destinations International are inviting destination organisations and convention bureaux to fill out their dedicated #survey on #accessibility and #inclusion. * They're hoping for input from the North American and European regions but are open to those outside of these. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇫🇷 🇨🇿 * They ask that those who are familiar with accessibility-related legislation or issues affecting accessibility in their destination participate, i.e. Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director, Community Engagement, Destination Development, Inclusion Specialist.💪 🤝 ☝ 👍 https://lnkd.in/dhqs_dWk #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #Accessibility

Did you know that only 50% of adults in England who identify as disabled did not take an overnight holiday in England in 2021-2022 compared to 35% of non-disabled people? (Participation Survey 2022-2023). And almost half a million adults say lack of accessibility provision is why they haven’t taken a domestic trip. Visitors with accessibility requirements represent a market worth £14.6 billion annually in spend, so it makes sense to consider making your business more inclusive. Accessible tourism provides a huge opportunity for businesses, and at VisitEngland we are committed to making sure that English tourism businesses have the right support and guidance to harness this valuable market.

At Atlas Outdoor, we believe that travel is more than just exploring new destinations—it’s about connecting with people, understanding diverse cultures, and promoting equality and respect. This December, as we observe International Human Rights Month, we reaffirm our commitment to creating meaningful travel experiences that uphold these values. From supporting local communities and women-led cooperatives to fostering cultural exchange through authentic interactions, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of those we encounter. Every step we take in promoting sustainable and responsible tourism is a step toward a fairer and more inclusive world. Together, let’s celebrate the power of understanding and unity that transcends borders. Because travel isn’t just about seeing the world—it’s about making it better. #InternationalHumanRightsMonth #TravelWithPurpose #AtlasOutdoor #Sustainability #HumanRights

🌍 Protecting children in travel, leisure, and entertainment industries was the focus of a recent event organised by The Bicester Collection, in partnership with the UN Office of the Special Representative and supported by the World Travel & Tourism Council, CWT, and ECPAT International.   Key takeaways: 💡 Collaboration is Crucial: Ending the sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism requires coordinated efforts between public and private sectors, from airports to local communities. 💡 Embedding Child Safety: The travel, tourism, and entertainment industries must prioritise child protection at every stage, including safety by design approaches. 💡 Unregulated Voluntourism: There’s a pressing need to regulate voluntourism to protect children, with interventions required at local, national, and international levels. The event demonstrated strong industry commitment to sustainable tourism that puts child protection at its core. Together, we can create a future where every child is safe. 🔗 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/g-5CTRWe #ChildProtection #SustainableTourism #UnlockFutures #ActNow
