Wade takes Travalyst chair

INTREPID Travel co-founder Darrell Wade (pictured) has deepened his involvement with The Travalyst Coalition, a sustainable travel organisation founded in 2017 by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. Comprising major partners such as Booking.com, Google, Expedia Group, Trip.com, Tripadvisor and Skyscanner, the coalition’s mission is “to make it easier for travellers and travel providers to make sustainable choices” with the development of a consistent, uniform, industry-wide sustainability framework.
“Our shared goal is to make sustainability reporting – and eventually supply scoring/indexing – a core part of the consumer experience; where consistent information is published globally across all travel platforms,” according to the Travalyst website. Wade’s involvement complements his longstanding participation in sustainability and climate change forums, including being Vice-Chair of Sustainability for the World Travel and Tourism Council.
