Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Travel

We are inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of a world free of race and gender bias, and his non-violent approach to change.

We want to honor this great man particularly for his advocacy for travel as a path to promote peace. He believed the simple act had the power to enlighten - to break down barriers, to combat stereotypes and bring people together. And today, many who choose to embrace travel as a lifestyle, are living the legacy created by Dr. King.

We continue to believe travel establishes an understanding between different cultures and people, as Dr. King spoke of so many years ago. It allows us to embrace other people – and ourselves – as unique and valuable individuals.

On this very important day in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., we would like to remember his belief in and advocacy for travel. For this simple act may be one way to realize his dream for a life and a world of peace.
