\nThe World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) reiterated the importance of women\u2019s engagement in Travel & Tourism to catapult its growth and achieve a thriving and resilient sector at the Women Deliver Global Conference, in Kigali, Rwanda.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the conference today, Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, emphasised the importance of promoting women’s involvement in the sector and overcoming challenges for success in the business world.
\nThe event served as a platform to address the challenges faced by women in the Travel & Tourism sector and explore strategies to overcome them, aiming to inspire change and promote equal opportunities for women in the sector. The panel discussions shed light on the challenges faced by women in various aspects of the business, including barriers to entry, operational obstacles, and ecosystem limitations. <\/p>\n
The event underscored the vital role of mentorship in empowering young women and girls in business. Through networking, opportunities, and resources, mentorship programs unlock their potential for economic transformation.<\/p>\n
During her address, Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, said: \u201cIt is proven that companies that have 50% women in their leadership make more money. This makes even more sense in travel and tourism where women make the buying decisions on where to go on holiday. \u2018It also makes good sense to employ women in senior roles; why would you exclude access to 50% of global talent. \u201cRwanda has a great track record with a majority of women MPs in the Parliament. President Kagame addressed the Women Deliver, for the first time held in Africa, with real passion and a track record of gender equality. \u201cPutting women centre stage in Travel & Tourism will ensure a better future for the sector and the global economy. Currently, more than half of the sector is made up of women. \u201cBy addressing the barriers and inequalities they face, we can unlock immense potential and drive sustainable growth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
