About the Conference.
With great enthusiasm, we extend our warmest welcome to the upcoming Women in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality Conference 2024 – an event that promises to be a landmark celebration of empowerment, innovation, and transformation.
Under the captivating theme of "Reclamation," we gather to honor the unyielding spirit that defines women in our dynamic industry. As trailblazers, creators, and leaders, we understand that our journey involves not just adapting to change, but actively reclaiming our roles, narratives, and contributions in the travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors.
We will gather exceptional women in travel, tourism, and hospitality as we embrace our vulnerabilities, share our stories, and rally for an open-minded and open-hearted future for our industry.
With a focus on Empowering Change: Reclamation in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality, we will discuss the tools & strategies to thoughtfully and proactively create a space that is authentic, motivating, and beneficial to our lives - both personally and professionally.
There will be in-person facilitated networking, as well as an exclusive platform where all participants will be able to connect with fellow professionals. There will be moments that spark revolutionary ideas, and the groundwork for the future will take place.
