The hospitality industry has historically had a progressive view of women in leadership positions. Using this mentality from the start is the challenging part. However, although some organizations promote and implement programs that encourage women to actively participate and take on leadership responsibilities, others see women in leadership roles as essential. One of the biggest challenges facing women is the lack of opportunities for career advancement. Mobility is the primary explanation behind this. In many cases, women lack mobility, which limits their ability to advance in their careers. Several life situations, such as being a single mother, taking care of sick parents, or being a woman who is not the family’s sole provider and must also take into account her partner’s job, might cause this.
Increasing the percentage of women employed in all hotels is one of the main goals, and as the number of hotels in the industry has grown over the past several years, there has been a discernible improvement. As a result, women today have greater access to opportunities. “World’s Iconic Women Leaders in Travel & Hospitality, 2025” has included many names like Kirsty Gordon who are proving that women will be leading the travel and hospitality industries in the upcoming years.
In this special edition, let us share similar, inspirational tales and interviews with many such dedicated leaders in order to raise awareness about their contributions to making the world a better place.
