Fox World Travel Named a 2025 Top Member of The Code

We’re proud to share that we’ve been selected as a 2025 Top Member of The Code for demonstrating our exceptional commitment to child protection within the tourism industry.

This prestigious recognition is granted by The Code (short for The Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism) and is part of ECPAT International, a global network committed to ending all forms of child sexual exploitation, including trafficking, prostitution, online abuse, forced marriage, and exploitation in travel and tourism.

We join an elite group of only 29 global travel organizations to receive this honor in 2025. The recognition reflects our continued dedication to implementing The Code’s six criteria, which aim to protect children from sexual exploitation in travel and tourism.

“This honor reflects our deep-rooted values and long-standing commitment to responsible travel,” said Kelly Leith, vice president of human resources and PACT Committee co-chair at Fox World Travel. “Being named a Top Member of The Code reinforces our important role in protecting children. It also highlights the dedication and education-driven work our committee has led over the past seven years in partnership with PACT.”

As part of this recognition, we’ve been invited to participate in a regional webinar hosted by The Code in September and will share our best practices through a short video reflecting on this year’s World Tourism Day theme: “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.”

About The Code

The Code (short for The Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism) is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative supported by ECPAT International. Its mission is to equip the travel and tourism industry with the awareness, tools, and support needed to prevent the sexual exploitation of children. This exploitation includes a range of abuses such as trafficking, the production of child sexual abuse material, and exploitation during voluntourism, orphanage tourism, or major events where children are especially vulnerable.

The organization also empowers children with knowledge of their rights and access to justice and support services, while uniting adult survivors to heal and advocate as a global community.
