Fox World Travel Named a 2026 Top Member of The Code for the Second Year in a Row
Fox World Travel is proud to be named a 2026 Top Member of the Code for the second year in a row, recognizing its ongoing commitment to protecting children within the travel and tourism industry.
The Code, short for The Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism, is a global initiative that gives travel companies practical tools to prevent child exploitation. It operates as part of Protect All Children from Trafficking (PACT), a member of ECPAT International, a worldwide network to end child sexual exploitation in all its forms.
“Being recognized for a second year in a row as a Top Member by PACT reflects Fox’s commitment to servant leadership and our responsibility to protect all children”, said Kelly Leith, vice president of human resources and PACT committee co-chair at Fox World Travel. “This achievement is powered by associates who lead with purpose, customers who trust in our mission and partners who share our belief that every child deserves safety, dignity and opportunity. It reinforces the impact of our work not only within the communities we serve, but across the globe, where our standards, advocacy and actions help strengthen protections for children everywhere. This honor is more than recognition; it’s a reflection of the values that guide us and the responsibility we embrace to make a positive difference year after year.”
As a 2026 Top Member of the Code, Fox World Travel will participate in a regional webinar hosted by The Code in September to share its best practices in a short video focused on this year’s World Tourism Day theme of “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism.”
To maintain its standing as a Top Member of The Code, Fox World Travel continues to meet six clear commitments that protect children from sexual exploitation in travel and tourism:
- Set clear rules that prohibit the exploitation of children and guide responsible volunteer travel.
- Train employees to understand children’s rights, recognize warning signs and report any concerns.
- Include zero-tolerance language in contracts with partners and suppliers so every business in the chain shares the same standard.
- Give travelers straightforward information on children’s rights, how exploitation is prevented and how to report suspected cases.
- Work alongside partners, organizations and communities to help prevent the exploitation of children.
- Report each year on the progress made toward all six commitments.
