Women at the "Centre Stage" of tourism development
09-02-23
To celebrate International Women's Day, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and UN Women have jointly reaffirmed their commitment to keep women's empowerment at the Centre Stage of tourism development.
With the "Frontline" model, we can help the industry work for women, and we will not stop until the girls of tomorrow have the same opportunities as the men of today.
Tourism leads the way in gender equality
UNWTO research has shown the enormous potential of the tourism sector to empower women from all walks of life. Fifty-four percent of the world's tourism workforce is female, the gender pay gap is smaller in tourism, and the percentage of women in managerial positions is higher than in other sectors.
