The participation of Latinas in the tourism sector has gained unprecedented relevance, according to a new study by the United Nations (UN). The report not only highlights the crucial role they play in the tourism industry, but also underscores the impact of their contributions to sustainable development and gender equality in Latin America.

The report, entitled “Latinas in Tourism: Promoters of Sustainable Development,” focuses on the importance of gender equity in one of the most dynamic and ever-expanding economic sectors globally. Tourism, which represents a vital source of income and employment for many countries in the region, has proven to be an arena where women have made great strides, although they still face significant barriers.
