This year’s International Women’s Day theme is ‘Choose to Challenge’. It’s a call to action which we should embrace, not just for one day, but throughout 2021. While the premise of the theme is to call out and challenge inequality; Women in Tourism have interpreted the theme as a way in which we can all embrace challenges. Read more

We’re thrilled to announce a campaign to highlight the Top 100 Women In Tourism 2020! At a time when the industry is experiencing its most challenging year to date, WIT seeks to recognise and celebrate those working tirelessly every year to provide a warm welcome to visitors from around the world.
On 8th March 2020 the world will again recognise International Women’s Day. This year the theme is titled ‘Each For Equal’. Some think equality is a ‘women’s issue’ but it’s fundamentally a ‘business issue’. Ensuring gender equality is essential for businesses and economies to thrive. Over the last few years a number of organisations have developed alongside Women In Tourism. Women in Technology, Women In STEM, Women In Journalism – with everyone sharing an ambition and desire to achieve greater equality in the boardroom, in media coverage, in the workplace and in our industries. #EachforEqual.
Please note that this event is being rescheduled to later in the year – keep in touch with Women in Tourism for details – sign up to the newsletter to receive updates on our events.
