HBX Group engages in ESG conversations for tourism  

Through these initiatives, HBX Group continues to turn ideas into impact, helping to build a tourism sector that is inclusive, innovative, and connected to local communities.

At A World for Travel in Paris in late October, Carlota Galván Bisbal, Head of ESG, joined the panel “DEI: Dead or Alive?” alongside experts from Queer Destinations and Intrepid Travel. The discussion explored the evolving approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the travel sector and highlighted the importance of tailoring services to meet the diverse needs of travellers. Carlota shared practical steps HBX Group is taking to support more inclusive travel experiences, emphasising that inclusion begins internally—by listening, questioning, and creating safe, empathetic environments. 

The ESG team was recognised as a finalist in the Diversity & Inclusion category for the Guides for Good initiative in the Tourism Innovation Awards (TIS). This volunteer-driven project organises free guided tours that foster meaningful cultural connections in local communities, making tourism more inclusive and accessible.

The HBX Group ESG team has been actively participating in key tourism events, sharing insights on inclusion and innovation while engaging with industry leaders.
