Editor Sophie Griffiths said: "After receiving such fantastic positive feedback to our Diversity Forum last year we’re absolutely thrilled to be returning on 5 July exploring new topics and how the travel industry can do more when it comes to inclusion.
"Last year, 100% of those who attended said they would recommend the Forum to friends and colleagues, while a our follow up survey in January showed almost 70% said they had made positive changes to their business as a result of attending our sessions. We can’t wait to return in July with another fantastic line up."
