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.
Strategic opportunity
Capturing new travel audiences hinges on showcasing an understanding and acceptance of a range of identities. Young generations will not support businesses that fail to foster safe spaces, so consider the initiatives and strategies you must put in place to be inclusive and identity-affirming
