Transforming an industry isn’t a solo journey. At Travalyst, we collaborate with businesses and stakeholders across travel & tourism: including global, household-name brands, sustainability experts, academics, policy-makers and thought leaders.
By uniting diverse industry leaders, we are addressing a critical gap: creating scalable, sustainability-focussed solutions that no single organisation can achieve alone.
Leaders in the travel industry must all play a part in ensuring future generations are able to continue exploring the world around them in a sustainable manner. It is not something any one organisation can do alone: the travel sector is complex with significant inter-dependencies.” – Martin Nolan, Chief Legal Officer, Skyscanner
United in a shared mission to transform the system from within, we have convened a coalition of some of the biggest names in travel and technology; working to change the way we travel. We are working with our partners to embed trusted sustainability information into the travel-booking experience.
Having launched at the end of 2019 with five partners, the Travalyst coalition now comprises 14 partners; representing a market value of over $3 trillion.
Our partners are leaders in the industry, and shape the evolution of travel and tourism. They include: Amadeus, BCD, Booking.com, Expedia Group, Google, Mastercard, Pitchup.com, Sabre, Skyscanner, The Travel Corporation, Travelport, Trip.com Group, Tripadvisor and Visa.
It’s Travalyst that drives impact. Individual brands can share information and insights but it’s an organisation like Travalyst that brings industry wide alignment that enables impact at scale.” – Yannis Simaiakis, Travel and Local Partnerships Director, EMEA Google

As a Coalition Council Partner, you’ll have a seat at the table to directly influence Travalyst’s strategic direction. This tier is for organisations ready to commit meaningful resources—time, expertise, or funding—towards advancing systems-level change and delivering on our shared vision.
Contribute to the momentum of change through targeted collaboration. Industry Partners actively engage in working groups, contribute to research and product development, and share learnings on best practice with peers.
Transformation won’t happen through traveller choice alone. It also requires systemic change and collaboration.
That’s why we collaborate with a growing network of leading industry associations, institutions, and alliances across travel and tourism. These partners bring critical expertise, reach, and influence across aviation, hospitality, digital platforms, destination management, and policy, among others.
These strategic partnerships help ensure that our work is additive, complies with (and where helpful, influences) regulations, and represents a diverse set of stakeholders. They are grounded in a common understanding of:
