What we’ve invested in the community
What we’ve achieved as an outcome
Community impact in travel and tourism refers to initiatives that create positive social and environmental outcomes for people and places connected to the travel ecosystem. It can encompass digital inclusion, employability, supporting local communities and destinations, and inclusive development, helping strengthen local economies, bridge the digital gap and build a more resilient industry.
Through programmes like Travel4Impact, which supports impact-driven entrepreneurs, and through community initiatives including addressing basic social needs and environmental preservation, cleanups and reforestation. Our volunteers work with partners to promote balanced tourism and strengthen local communities.
Skills-based volunteering allows employees to use their professional expertise, such as engineering, data science or business skills, to support nonprofit organisations, impact entrepreneurs and community projects, delivering high-impact support by transferring valuable skills to communities that need them. Also developing projects, mentoring, giving expert support.
Travel and tourism is one of the world’s largest employment sectors. Amadeus helps people, including young people, women, professionals and underserved groupsrn, build careers in the industry through global partnerships with organisations like the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and the Global Travel and Tourism Partnership.
