Delta Airlines is taking strides to authentically represent diverse travelers and their unique experiences. Through their Faces of Travel initiative, Delta invited employees and members of the Los Angeles community to share their memorable travel stories. These stories were brought to life in real-time through digital sketches by a group of talented emerging artists. The result was the Inspired Journeys digital art installation, which captivated audiences at Westfield Century City and the ADCOLOR conference. The installation showcased over 200 digital illustrations, each capturing the essence of a traveler’s most cherished moments. Among the commissioned artists were Delta employees, demonstrating the airline’s commitment to internal diversity and representation. The Inspired Journeys experience not only provided a platform for artists to share their craft but also showed the community that Delta values their stories and experiences. The emotional impact of the art was evident, with tears and laughter shared among participants. In addition to the art installation, Delta created the Cultural Moments Travel Guide Series in collaboration with diverse communities and their partner, LATAM. This series offers inclusive and welcoming travel recommendations, further reinforcing Delta’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in the travel industry. The Cultural Moments Travel Guide Series was recognized at the 8th Annual Shorty Impact Awards, highlighting its creative and effective approach in supporting cultural moments and social activism. Delta’s dedication to amplifying the stories and faces of diverse travelers goes beyond an initiative. It is a testament to the integral role travelers from all walks of life play in shaping Delta’s culture and the travel industry as a whole.
