Travel Unity provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
This policy applies to all employment terms and conditions, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
REPRESENTATION AND DIVERSIFICATION
People need to see others with similar identities to feel like they would also be welcome. Associations can have current members self-identify to better understand the true diversity within their ranks. Once they know the actual demographics, they can then do more to create viable partnerships to invite individuals from previously underrepresented groups.
Even with successful recruitment, diversity of membership and staff can only be maintained with empowering and listening to varied perspectives.
Yet, boards of travel industry associations cannot be diverse if their membership is not diverse. Since membership comes from the broader travel industry, the pool of members is limited by the overall diversity of travel industry professionals. Therefore, it is imperative for travel industry associations to consistently engage with initiatives that will diversify their boards, membership, and the broader travel industry.
