Accor has partnered with the International LGBTQ+
Travel Association (IGLTA), a leading member-based global organisation dedicated to advancing LGBTQ+ tourism.
The
collaboration is the first step in demonstrating the new pillar within Accor’s Diversity & Inclusion commitment:
to increase momentum in welcoming and valuing LGBTQ+ team members,
clients and communities.
“We have long admired Accor’s commitment to
diversity, equity and inclusion and are thrilled to expand our
relationship to an integrated, year-round approach to advancing
LGBTQ+ travel,” said, John Tanzella, President/CEO, IGLTA.
“Accor’s commitment to creating safe, welcoming experiences for
LGBTQ+ travelers and to championing diversity within their team
perfectly aligns with IGLTA’s mission and the work of our global
partners.”
With an
annual reach of more than 4 million LGBTQ+ consumers, the
Platinum-level Partnership with IGLTA commits Accor to promote
LGBTQ+ tourism and signals the group’s values as an open and
inclusive company to LGBTQ+ communities.
“We are immensely proud to be joining an
incredible group of global firms in celebrating and advancing
LGBTQ+ tourism,” said Steven Daines, Chief Talent & Culture Officer, Accor.
“With more than 260,000 Accor team members in 110 countries,
diversity makes us who we are; it forms our very identity and
defines our people-first culture. As a group we are
whole-heartedly committed to ensuring the LGBTQ+ community feels
welcome. We hope our collaboration with IGLTA today will further
consolidate our aspiration to be the reference point in the
hospitality sector for LGBTQ+ employees and guests.”
