Inclusive Travel Programmes - ’One Year On’
One year ago, the ITM Building Inclusive Travel Programmes Taskforce released its buyer guide [https://www.itm.org.uk/resources/itm-inclusive-travel-programme-guide], providing practical recommendations to help organisations create travel programmes that better support the diverse needs of their travellers. Twelve months on, where are we now? Join members of the Taskforce as they reflect on the progress made since the guide's release, explore how organisations have responded to its recommendations and discuss the challenges and opportunities that remain.
