In today’s travel landscape, emotional and physical safety aren’t just values — they’re essential for destination success. When travelers feel seen, safe and like they belong, they stay longer, spend more, and come back to visit again. In this session, Rachel shares tourism-focused strategies to build inclusive environments that welcome all identities. Through personal stories and industry insights, she explores how allyship, cultural awareness, and thoughtful marketing can transform visitor experiences and powerfully shape a hospitality brand or destination’s reputation.
