Is Travel Inclusive for everyone? Romey Louangvilay

Romey and I spoke on my Instagram Live on June 15th, 2020 at 11 pm BST/6 pm EDT on his life and career.
Romey is the Partner, Head of Communications at ELMNTL, President at TravelUnity, and Forbes 30 under 30 Finalist in Marketing in 2016. Based in New York, I spoke to Romey about his passion for travel and why it is so important to him to bring inclusivity within the travel sector.
Romey and I discussed his upbringing. The initial love for travel came for him whilst growing up in Huntsville, Alabama. One thing he did tell me, growing up being the only Asian in school, left him questioning his heritage, which led him to use whitening cream to make his skin paler. We discussed why he got to that stage and whether he regrets what he did.
When it comes to his work, we spoke about certain scenarios when working with brands and sometimes he is on a losing battlefield in terms of what he is after. However, he did tell me it doesn't stop him from trying to get diversity within the sector.
He also spoke to me about when it comes to working with influencers, the biggest thing he wants out of them is to get them to tell their story and journey, rather than going back to him with superficial photos.
I also spoke to Romey about some of his favourite destinations. in particular, Romey does like to try out different cuisines when he is travelling and in his own words, will have an itinerary of restaurants he wants to go to or specific food he wants to try out.
All in all, I really enjoyed my talk and it was a pleasure getting to know Romey. There is good inside of him. His mindset and goals for wanting an inclusive society are there for you to see in our talk. I shall be keeping an eye out on all of his future endeavours and wish Romey the best of luck.
