2 in 3 LGBTQ+ travelers wanted to reduce the environmental footprint of their next trip.

Nearly three quarters of respondents said that racial equality had become important or very important to them during the past year, underlining the importance for businesses to actively improve their diversity, equality, and inclusion practices.
