Diversity is constantly top-of-mind for me as an SMX programming team member, as it is for our entire team. It's easy to issue statements in solidarity with victims or denouncing injustices, but the real struggle is in identifying opportunities to make our events, workplace and industry more inclusive. Complacency and procrastination are our worst enemies here and only work to institutionalize inequity. Making your own company more inclusive doesn't mean treating certain demographics, like white males, as second-class citizens.

UPDATE: This report was updated on Sept. 6 with information about the Netherlands requiring U.S. visitors to quarantine for 10 days. The U.S. travel trade was left scrambling to respond to the European Union's decision last week to remove the U.S. from its "safe travel" list due to the recent rise in Covid cases. Confusion ran rampant immediately following the announcement, which was not "legally binding," according to the EU Council, with each EU member country left to decide whether to ramp up restrictions on U.S. inbound travel. An online infographic shared by the council indicated that the EU continued to support travel by those who are fully vaccinated, suggesting that unvaccinated travelers would likely bear the brunt of any resulting policy changes. However, the Netherlands is now requiring vaccinated U.S. travelers to quarantine for 10 days, effectively snuffing leisure tourism from the U.S. Needless pause Trafalgar CEO Gavin Tollman writes that this lat...

This story was updated on September 11, 2021. I t's been less than two weeks since the European Union removed the U.S. from its 'safe list' of countries for nonessential travel, and already some of the most-visited of the bloc's 27 member states have reacted by clamping down with additional Covid-19 travel restrictions for Americans. The E.U. recommendation is non-binding, so it's up to each individual country in the bloc whether to impose additional restrictions. Already, it's clear that travelers will not find one universal policy throughout the E.U., as a messy patchwork of different rules and regulations is emerging across the continent. Here are the European countries where it has become more difficult for Americans to travel. E.U. Countries Where Americans Are Virtually Banned Outright Sweden: As of September 6, the U.S. is now off Sweden's list of "safe countries." This means American tourists are not permitte...

The Globus family of brands, which includes Globus, Cosmos, Monograms and Avalon Waterways, has also extended its policy requiring all travelers to show proof of being fully vaccinated until at least March 2022. Collette, meanwhile, announced it will continu...
