Launching this month, the new initiative includes partners: Avis Budget Group; Celebrity Cruises; Eurostar; JetBlue; The Travel Network Group, Tui and Visit Tampa Bay.
The programme comprises a host of events, including a new accessibility focused seminar in October as well as an LGBT seminar, two Travel Prides in winter and summer and a new Travel Pride Champions awards programme.
Both seminars will be aimed at educating the trade on how to sell and market to the LGBT community or those with accessibility concerns, while also providing product knowledge and training tips.
Meanwhile TTG’s annual D&I programme will also include a series of Diversity Breakfasts, with senior leaders from across the sector invited to hear from a host of speakers representing different aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion.
TTG managing director Matt Roclawski said: “TTG remains unwavering in our commitment to striving for a smarter, better, fairer travel industry and our focus on championing diversity and inclusion in travel remains as strong now as when we first launched TTG LGBT back in 2015. We’re excited to bring to life another fantastic D&I programme this year, along with our fantastic partners.”
