Prince Harry Supports Travalysts Five Year Anniversary [Video]

Prince Harry’s busy New York City trip spotlights many causes close to his heart — including his work with the environmental tourism initiative Travalyst, which is celebrating a milestone anniversary.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, founded Travalyst five years ago in 2019, when he was still a working royal. The initiative was developed with a mission to help “both travelers and travel companies make better, greener choices,” according to its website, and on Sept. 24, Prince Harry joined the non-profit as it announced its strategy for the next five years.

“I’ve seen firsthand how travel and tourism can be a double-edged sword, both a force that has the potential to do tremendous good or, if mismanaged, inflict significant harm,” Prince Harry said. “These experiences, as well as years of conversation and debate around campfires with experts that I’m proud to call friends, have shaped my understanding of the critical bond between people, wildlife and the environment we share.”
