(WEAA)— Al Hutchinson, President and CEO of Vist Baltimore, a marketing organization in Baltimore, joins Dr. Kaye to discuss a new initiative to promote diversity, equity and inclusion for visitors. 

The Warm Welcome program which consists of hotels, restaurants, attractions and other businesses across Baltimore is encouraging participants to train staff and stakeholders to use supportive, affirming language; inspire proactive allyship; encourage productive dialogue about race and bias; and foster active listening and learning. 

 

Hutchinson says, “We believe Baltimore can and should be a top destination for a diverse array of travelers, no matter who you are or where you come from. Visit Baltimore wants the world to know that our city’s tourism and hospitality community is committed to supporting and embracing diversity, equity and inclusion”.
