INTREPID Travel today announced its second Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), with CEO James Thornton saying “thousands of customers travel in Australia every year with Intrepid, and it is crucial we acknowledge the rich histories and cultures of Australia’s First Peoples, the custodians of this land”.
Intrepid launched its first RAP in 2019, and is the first global tour operator to achieve Innovate RAP status, with a range of commitments including ways of procuring goods and services to support First Nations businesses.
The company will also establish an internship program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people interested in sustainable tourism, and partner with the travel industry and other like-minded businesses to promote reconciliation.
Intrepid will formalise a new partnership with an Indigenous organisation via the Intrepid Foundation, review recruitment procedures to remove barriers to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation, and introduce an Acknowledgement of Country by the tour leader on all of its Australia tours.
