Welcome All and Advance Human Rights

Travel is one of the most powerful tools for promoting peace and cultural understanding.

With the goal of creating a safe, welcoming world for all, we rally for pro-travel policies and support programs that allow people to experience and understand other cultures. Through nonprofit partnerships, creating and implementing training, advocacy and supplier accountability, we are committed to uphold and respect human rights.

As a leader in the travel and tourism industry, we have taken the lead in the fight against some of the industry’s highest-risk and most pressing issues, including human trafficking, exploitation and forced labor. Through nonprofit partnerships, creating and implementing training, advocacy and supplier accountability, we contribute to the fight to uphold human rights among all people.
