International Women in Travel and Tourism Forum (IWTTF) delegates were on Thursday (27 June) told to "stop passing the DEI ball around" and to reach out and "catch it" instead.
"Everyone likes to talk about DEI and pat their back for having the conversation as if they’re done their bit," said Uwern Jong, editor in chief of OutThere magazine, who was speaking at the forum as part of an allyship panel moderated by TTG Media CEO Daniel Pearce.
"But when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion, you’ll be wanting to catch the ball and take action."
