About Travalyst Travalyst is a global independent not-for-profit organisation working to identify - and help bring about - the systemic changes needed in order to bring sustainability information to the mainstream to help people and destinations make more informed travel choices. We believe tourism can, and must, play a key role in achieving a sustainable future for our world; so we're convening the key players, and catalysing the necessary action, to change the impact of travel, for good. We are committed to being a driving force that redefines what it means to travel, helping everyone explore our world in a way that protects both people and places, and secures a positive future for destinations and local communities for generations to come. Founded by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, Travalyst is a pre-competitive coalition of some of the biggest names in travel and technology including Amadeus, BCD, Expedia, Google, Mastercard, PitchUp, Sabre, Skyscanner, The Travel Corporation, Group, Tripadvisor, and Visa, amongst others. Our partners represent a combined market value of almost $3 trillion and work collaboratively to make travel more sustainable. What we do Travalyst's mission is to make it easier for travellers and travel providers to make sustainable choices by bringing credible, consistent sustainability information to the mainstream. The first step to achieve this is to deliver a unified approach to sustainability; initially across several of the leading digital service providers in tourism and then scaled amongst the wider industry. Over the past six years, Travalyst has worked collaboratively to build unified sustainability solutions for key verticals in tourism - starting with accommodation and aviation - to drive forward a new, more responsible model for travel. Building upon the work of existing standards, our solutions will be transparent, trusted and easy to understand for both operators and consumers, and scale across the broadest possible range of travel platforms. Our end goal The ultimate goal is to transform the impact of the tourism industry; encouraging travellers to make more sustainable choices, and helping to scale the global supply of sustainable travel options to meet the growing demand from travellers. This will be done by providing accurate data at scale, building models that can be adapted by the industry at large, promoting a shared understanding of what good looks like, actively seeking structured input from our coalition partners to inform product roadmaps and prioritise initiatives, championing best actors in the field, and ultimately securing a collective commitment to changing the way the world travels. By doing this, Travalyst will help everyone explore our world in a way that protects both people and places, and secures a positive future for destinations and local communities for generations to come. The role of the Board Since its inception in 2019, Travalyst has played a unique role in bringing together some of the world's biggest travel organisations - including direct competitors - within a neutral, pre-competitive structure to collaborate on sustainability initiatives, share data and accelerate change collectively. Following its transition from an initial pilot phase to a standalone entity in 2022/23, Travalyst established its first formal Board of Directors to ensure strong, independent governance and to support delivery of its long-term strategy. The Board is responsible for the overarching governance of the organisation; overseeing the strategic direction and success of the organisation, whilst also fulfilling the statutory legal and financial duties of a not-for-profit Board . click apply for full job details
