Travel Is Becoming More Inclusive
Improving diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) have been top of mind for many companies and businesses of late, including those in the travel sphere. The industry is well-suited to lead the way and its efforts are poised to shape the future of travel. "Travel is uniquely positioned to uplift DEI initiatives to power a future that values all cultures, embraces new perspectives and reflects the faces and ideas of our global society," U.S. Travel says.

Travel is back—so say news stories and corporate earnings calls since the summer of 2021. There are caveats though, and they represent a large share of industry revenue. International travel still awaits an improved pandemic situation and less daunting border restrictions. Corporate travel remains below 50% of prepandemic spend and faces a more complex prognosis than leisure travel.

Getting your attendees out in the local communities can have a hugely beneficial impact on both the attendee experience and the event host.
Before diving into how to build your culture case, it’s important to understand that there are a lot of ways to define cultural experiences. To simplify it for our event context, I like to think of it as “doing as the locals do” by understanding their way of life and what they value. Cultural experiences give our attendees a chance to expand their perspectives...

Accommodations & Hospitality |

|
|
A top priority for hotels is keeping guests happy and building guest loyalty to create repeat and return guests. When focusing on existing clients rather than attracting new guests, hotels can be more likely to increase revenue. Ensuring guests want to revisit a property goes hand-in-hand with making sure their experiences are enjoyable.

“Combining sales and service ultimately leads to better, more lasting deals. I’ve got the people to prove that selling to and servicing clients are actually complementary roles.”

Sasha-Loriene McClain ’12 likes to joke that she was the world’s briefest studio art major. Thirty-six hours after she’d rearranged her four-year plan at the University of Maryland to study art instead of economics, her parents told her if she wanted to follow that route, she could do it at community college. Immigrants who’d sought refuge from the Liberian civil war, they saw economics as the better path to a secure future.
