Prince Harry picks up the pace for sustainable travel

But then gets stopped in his tracks! The younger son of Britain´s King Charles displays fitness, comic timing and understandable ease in front of a camera in this promotion for his sustainable tourism initiative, Travalyst. In the five-minute film, Prince Harry, aka the Duke of Sussex, runs into Aotearoa New Zealand Trip Raters while out for a solitary jog. The exasperating experience gives him food for thought, he acknowledges when finally released. Travalyst was launched in 2019 with the support of Harry's charitable foundation, Sussex Royal, and this ad was released in 2022 as Covid measures eased, facilitating a restricted return to travel. Travalyst presents itself as: "Led by The Duke of Sussex in partnership with Booking.com, Expedia Group, Google, Skyscanner, Trip.com Group, Tripadvisor, and Visa, Travalyst is a non-profit organisation working to identify – and help bring about – the systemic changes needed in order for sustainable travel to be taken out of the niche, and into the mainstream." The prince, son of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and brother to the current Prince of Wales and first in line to the throne, William, says that travel has an "unparalleled power" to open minds to appreciation of what our world has to offer. However, says the 38-year-old father of two, it is "critical to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices worldwide" when it comes to tourism, so as to balance growth with the needs of the environment and local communities. Prince Harry's children with his wife Megan Markle - three-year-old Archie and 15-month-old Lilibet - recently acquired the title of prince / princess following the death of their long-serving great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. What do you think of the Travalyst Ad? Do you like the way it features Prince Harry, allowing him to exercise his skills and interests in this way for causes he feels strongly about?
