Global – Delta Air Lines has launched its Faces of Travel image library, comprising 200 photos and 40 video clips that authentically depict diverse travellers enjoying extraordinary experiences around the world. These images are available to download for free on Adobe Stock.

In an industry where travel marketing often features a narrow representation of individuals, typically focusing on white, able-bodied, cis-gender and heteronormative people, Delta’s initiative is a positive leap towards inclusivity. All assets were captured by Korean-Mexican photographer Seo Ju Park in Cape Town, South Africa. The airline’s collaboration with Adobe is part of Delta’s commitment to increase representation within travel culture, encouraging diversity in image and video content used in social media and tourism ads.

The initiative, which was brought to life in partnership with creative company Kin, aims to inspire more people to see themselves in faraway places, expressing their identities, while building a more welcoming and inclusive future.

US – New research shows that plant-based milk alternatives are Americans’ most consumed plant-based food and drink items. The Food Industry Association (known as FMI) introduced its Power of Plant-Based Alternative Foods and Beverages 2023 report at the Plant-Based World Expo in New York in September 2023.

After surveying a nationally representative sample of 1,062 US grocery shoppers aged 18 or older, the FMI revealed that plant-based milk continues to be the most regularly consumed plant-based alternative, drunk by at least one in 10 shoppers daily, with 28% drinking it at least once per week.

The report also highlighted that 26% of consumers are largely unwilling to try plant-based foods. Unsurprisingly, 64% of shoppers already consuming some plant-based food and beverages are much more likely to be willing to try new and different plant-based alternatives. As explored in The Brands Making The Dairy Aisle More Sustainable, demand for dairy alternatives is here to stay.
