Nomadness ALTERnative Travel Conference

DIVERSITY IN TECH AND TRAVEL

Technology is often the first way people discover cultures beyond their own. Once on the journey, tech again serves as a cultural ambassador, butler, translator, connector, and guide. It has the power to bring us together in life-changing ways by encouraging us to see places and people with our own eyes, but there is also a less savory side: Not every destination is hospitable to tourists of color, single women, and LGBTQ people. Technology has been used to discourage people from visiting by making rooms too expensive or suspiciously unavailable. How can technology help solve these problems?

Duarte Geraldino will be in discussion with Valerie Williams of Airbnb and Peter Kovacs of “Accents Are Sexy.”
