Dolores Semeraro on the truth behind Accessible Travel today with guest speakers Ali Parker from Travel Counsellors and Mike and Silvia Hill from Endeavour Safaris in Botswana. We most commonly in tourism and travel, refer to Accessible Travel as the sphere in which travellers with limited mobility or disabilities can access travel options in a fully inclusive way.  In this episode we explore the truth behind booking accessible travel holidays for travel agents and tourism operators. In particular we discuss: 1.  The Educational Sphere around Accessible Travel: the training needed amongst the tourism operators in order to deliver great travel experiences for travellers with limited mobilities or disabilities. 2. The Supply Chain and all the parts involved in delivering the perfect travel experience: from the travel enquiry to the accommodation, the transport and all the logistics. 3. The Hotel experience and how can hotel rooms & suites be more accessible and inclusive without compromising the look and feel of the space. 4. Normalise Accessible Travel and the conversations we have both with the clients and the suppliers: how do we shift from accessible to inclusive.5. The Business Volume: is it big enough to prompt more investments and much needed changes? 6. The role of Governments and the public authorities in tourism and travel in Accessible Travel, where do the private operators feel supported and where, instead, lack of support negatively impacts the outcome of the travel experience. The Podcast guests: Ali Parker - personal travel consultant with Travel Counsellors, a global award-winning travel professionals' network. Ali has more than 20 years' experience in making holidays and travel accessible and inclusive to all, and ever passionate on how to create holidays and travel that meet the need of travellers with even the most complex access and mobility requirements.  Ali is going to take us on a journey to when Accessible Travel was not even a thing to a world where traveling on a wheelchair is not a privilege but a right.  Mike and Silvia Hill - founders of Endeavor Safaris in - Maun, Botswana where they operate – perhaps being the only ones  - incredible safari Dolores Semeraro is an internationally recognized tourism keynote speaker and trainer who has inspired thousands of people in the tourism industry to build a stronger, more sustainable, and more resilient future of travel.

92% of business travelers believe the future of their careers depends on successful business travel. And yet nearly two-thirds (62%) feel they haven't had equal opportunity to travel for business compared to their coworkers, and they attribute this primarily to their age, accent, or gender. These are some of the staggering findings from the SAP Concur Global Business Travel Survey, which serves as an annual touchpoint to lay bare the realities of today's business travel landscape. Now in its fifth year, the survey explores some of the most pressing challenges facing business travelers and travel managers today, such as the lack of equal opportunity for travel among marginalized travelers, how that denial of opportunity can stunt professional growth, and how this impacts travel managers and informs their decisions. Nathan Richter of Wakefield Research joins us in this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast to explore key findings from the 2023 Global Business Travelers Report and 2023 Global Business Travel Managers Report, and to share data-backed insights into the current state of business travel and what the next year will bring.

It's been an exciting month for people who follow college basketball, as March Madness wraps up in Texas. But what you may not consider when you think about the tournament is the incredible travel engine that exists in the background, from fan and team transportation to hotels and big-ticket entertainment to smaller spend like meals and rideshares. Host Rebecca Tobin traveled to Houston for the final matchup in the men's games, along with Matt Traub, the managing editor of sister publication SportsTravel. But ahead of the Final Four we sat down with Travel Weekly's deputy managing editor, Gerry Bourbeau, a college hoops fan and a former sportswriter, to talk about the size of the sports-travel market, its post-lockdown rebound, the travel spend generated by the basketball tournament and how host cities prepare to greet fans and keep the fun going. We also pinpoint major cities that are hosting major sporting events and where sports travel is growing by leaps and bounds (looking at you, pickleball).

IGLTA International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association Chairman Of The Board Of Directors  Felipe Cardenas speaks about the challenges and opportunities for the tourism industry when tapping into the LGBTQ+ clientele to build a safe and inclusive travel experience for all. Across the tourism industry today we often speak about embracing a more inclusive and diverse approach and mindset. But what does it exactly mean? How do we practically develop a more ‘inclusive' company culture and what are the benefits of this approach?  The travellers profile is growing more and more complex by the day, the tourism industry operators have come to understand and even enhance a more gender neutral approach to their customers but a lot more remains to be done and the challenge is that many tourism operators do not quite know how to tackle this social change, which will inevitably have an impact on the future of their business.WHY LGBTQ+ travel is crucial to building an inclusive future of travel HOW you can get on board, put your destination on the map and learn what are the direct financial benefits of tapping into this social movement and WHAT can you do to champion change across your company cultureAbout IGLTAIGLTA, the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association was founded in 1983 and is the world's leading network of LGBTQ+-welcoming tourism businesses.

During his trip to the United States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that international travel should be made easier through mutual recognition of vaccine certificates. Well, it was apparently a message for countries that have different yardsticks for different countries when it comes to vaccine certificate acceptance.  Now, let's put this in context. After India warned of reciprocal measures, the United Kingdom finally recognised Covishield. However, the travails of Indians travelling to the UK aren't over.  The country, which appears to have doubts over vaccine certification in India, has not removed the home isolation requirement for vaccinated Indians and has sought details regarding the working of the CoWin app. So, it means that Indians would have to self-isolate for 10 days upon arrival in the UK, even if they are fully vaccinated with Covishield. That sounds unfair, doesn't it? A large chunk of vaccine doses that have been administered in the UK so far were exported from India by Serum Institute. And, shouldn't the focus at this point be on a coordinated approach among governments to revive global travel and tourism, a sector that has suffered the most due to the pandemic? How much money have airlines lost? According to an International Air Transport Association report, airlines collectively lost $6.9 billion in the April-May period of 2021, compared with $14.4 billion in the first quarter of the year. IATA earlier this year forecast a $48-billion loss for member airlines in 2021. Just think about someone planning to visit the UK for business or leisure. With this 10-day quarantine rule, not many would be in a position to take the cost burden. And also the broader implication if countries faced with such restrictions started reciprocating by imposing similar curbs. Won't that lead to a huge impact on global trade, commerce and travel, and also put roadblocks in the global economic recovery? Meanwhile, India is looking for solutions by engaging bilaterally with countries for a mechanism to mutually recognise each other's vaccine certificates. In an oped column for a business daily, National Health Authority Chairman and head of the Cowin app, R S Sharma, wrote that they are planning to release an international version of the vaccination certificate for travel purposes. Let's look at the key takeaways from his column to get a sense of India's future plans for addressing the trust deficit. R S Sharma on vaccination certificate: He wrote that people could soon log on to the CoWIN portal and apply for International Vaccination Travel Certificate, or IVTC. These certificates would soon be available for download in various internationally accepted formats. There will also be a facility for beneficiaries to link their passport to IVTC using the CoWIN app. Here's what economic analyst Pranjal Sharma said on these steps for building trust around vaccination certificates: Countries should come together if they want travel & tourism to be improved Harmonise the protocols for vaccination, certification and recognition It should be possible across countries to read, scan and validate QR codes So, if we want the world to prosper as one, and not as individual nations, as Pranjal suggests, there needs to be uniformity in travel rules across the world.
