What do 2 of the top 3 US airlines have in common? Every year for their World’s Best Awards survey, Travel + Leisure (T+L) asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Over 186,000 T+L readers completed the 2024 survey. A total of more than 700,000 votes were cast. Two of the top three airlines have one thing in common. Both are partners of Autism Double-Checked and both are certified. That is no surprise. Of the four factors that are surveyed, two – In-flight Service and Customer Service are central to the training that they received from Autism Double-Checked. Cause or effect? Were their high scores on these caused by that training? T+L didn’t ask that but we do know that it made a profound difference with another airline. That is LATAM Airlines in South America. They found, in their customer satisfaction surveys, that scores went up immediately following the rollout of Autism Double-Checked training. Clearly, cause.

It was a privilege to learn from Autism Double Checked Co-Founder Alan Day this morning. Autism Double Checked works in a variety of ways to support the #Autism community, and I appreciated learning from Alan. (I also learned that Autism Double Checked's other co-founder, David M. Tait OBE, worked with Richard Branson at the foundation of Virgin Atlantic, among many other roles in aviation). I want to thank Breeze Airways™ VP Marketing, Angela Vargo (...and Breeze President, Tom Doxey, for setting up the dialogue with Angela....) for facilitating the introduction to Alan for this very important conversation. The conversation is part of my work to grow my (free) non-profit website, https://lnkd.in/gumqSNKG, to assist its growth in becoming a go-to, free source of information about airport resources supporting the Autism community. TravelingWiki grew out of a conversation with Christina Cassotis (....at an event earlier this year at Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business... ) about the work of PIT and other airports to support the Autism community. Following engagement with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) leadership a few days ago (see, e.g., https://lnkd.in/gp4uQKVa), the next step will be an attempt to integrate the resources on TravelingWiki with the #TSACares program. Thank you again to Alan for the opportunity to engage today - it was a great learning experience that I hope inspires future awareness and growth for resources supporting those affected by Autism.

So inspiring to see the way inclusion policies can really change people’s lives. Virgin Hotels' partnership with Autism Double Checked means all employees at our certified hotels have been trained on how to best support guests with autism and make their stay as welcoming, calm, and special as possible. Hearing about the impact it had upon 14-year-old Felicia and her mum, Flavia, during a recent stay at Virgin Hotels in New York says it all: https://lnkd.in/ecf-bet6 #Autism #Inclusion #Purpose #Neurodiversity

Personalization is the future of hospitality — but personalization isn't just about preferences; it's about inclusivity and understanding the unique needs of every guest. In Mexico and the Dominican Republic, Karisma Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Autism Double Checked, is redefining personalization with the introduction of Autism Concierges to assist neurodiverse travelers to ensure their getaways are seamless and stress-free. What's more, the entire Karisma staff has been trained to understand and address the unique needs of travelers with autism. At BHC, we applaud this initiative and are inspired to continue our journey in ensuring every guest's unique needs are not just met but exceeded. Thank you for setting the bar high, Karisma Hotels & Resorts! https://lnkd.in/eazgmjDg

Love 😻 it when hospitality companies take meaningful actions to be more #inclusive and cater to everyone. 🙊 + actions like these tend to come with a #revenue upside because guests are happy to pay for meaningful and dedicated services ✨ Who's shinning today ❓ Karisma Hotels & Resorts partnered with Autism Double Checked to provide a dedicated Autism Concierge. Now, staying at one of Karisma's incredible #resorts will be a lot more attractive for those travelers who might need that extra level of care. Even better, Karisma will undergo special training to ensure their staff are ready to welcome and accommodate their guests through the Autism Concierge. Check out what Alan Day and Daniel Lozano Lanuza had to say about this partnership, and how it will positively affect their guests. *article in the comments 👇 #inclusion #autismawareness #dei #hotels

Truly an amazing initiative by Autism Double Checked to bring awareness to the travel industry and train airlines, resort, hotel, and entertainment representatives on how to treat kids with the autism spectrum. Great to see that some airlines like Breeze Airways™, Flair Airlines, JSX and LATAM Airlines are taking a step forward on that. https://lnkd.in/dH4ZHVw8 #mentalhealthawareness #travelindustry #airlines #aviation #autism
