At Corporate Traveller, we encourage everyone to let their true colours shine.
For this year’s Pride Month, we want to feature relevant resources, stories, and stats that demonstrate how to support the continued protection, elevation, and empowerment of 2SLGBTQI+ business travellers and employees.
Corporate Traveller is a global company that services business travellers from all walks of life, gender identities, and sexual orientations. We believe it's our responsibility as a global player in the corporate travel industry to be a conduit for these crucial conversations, and we hope you’ll join us in this important dialogue for not only this month, but for years to come. Happy Pride!
