In the Spotlight: Championing BIPOC-Owned Hospitality Businesses

Like many of you, we've spent the past year dreaming of future travels, planning adventures, and building anticipation for exploration. This period also inspired deep reflection at Travelzoo on how we can more robustly support underrepresented communities—specifically Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)-owned hospitality businesses and entrepreneurs.

Systemic inequities continue to impact our society, and while 2020 shone a critical light on these challenges, sustained action is essential today and tomorrow. To drive real progress, Travelzoo employees collaborated to launch targeted initiatives that intentionally weave diversity, inclusion, and belonging into our everyday operations and business strategies.

Our team is deeply committed to this ongoing series and thrilled to share it with you. Together, we can create lasting change, paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse global hospitality industry.

    For Liz Barratt-Brown, owner of historic Pedruxella Gran in Mallorca, Spain, the garden of Eden might just be her own olive grove. Pedruxella Gran has an incredible history.  There are many reasons why Pedruxella Gran is one of the best known posesiones (large historical estates) in our town of Pollensa, Mallorca.
