What does it take to make travel more inclusive in Europe? 🌍🏳️🌈 Last week in Brussels, our team at Queer Destinations, Oriol Pamies and Rika Jean-Francois, joined Airbnb, policymakers, NGOs, and industry leaders to explore just that. From accessibility to affordability, from safe spaces to cultural visibility, we need bold, coordinated action to ensure no one is left behind in the future of travel. At a time when many companies are quietly retreating from DEI commitments, it’s refreshing to see Airbnb taking a clear step forward, placing inclusivity at the core, not the margins. Thank you for creating this space for dialogue and strategy. We’re proud to contribute to building a tourism industry where everyone can experience the world as they are. 🌈✈️ #InclusiveTourism #QueerDestinations #Airbnb #Brussels #LGBTQTravel #DiversityMatters #TravelWithPride #HospitalityMeetsDiversity
