We believe a diverse tourism industry will be a successful industry and we are happy to represent minorities in the tourism industry. The ETF has a well-integrated and developed Women’s Committee and in our 2022 Congress passed a motion to grow representation of LGBT+ workers and minority workers which we continue to develop on. 

The ETF Women's Committee runs a conference every year which focuses on the needs and specific requirements of women in the transport workforce. So far they have championed the 'Get Me Home Safely' campaign which is designed to support safe travel to/from work for women workers. This will be disseminated throughout 2023 and 2024 with the ambition to create a bottom up approach to these issues. We aim to have at least 40% of the leadership to be women by our next Congress in 2027.

In addition, work has begun on supporting LGBT+ and minority work within the ETF. This year we will launch our first Diversity Working Group within the aviation industry, and the topic will continue to be addressed at regular Management and Executive Committee meetings (twice-annually) to ensure the objectives set out in the Congress motion are met. While quotas have not yet been set, we are discussing how we ensure a good representation of LGBT+ and minority representatives at future ETF meetings.
