About Women, the power of events and the change we get if we collaborate 😊 Last week was ITB and World Women´s Day – and how better to highlight the power of human connections and female leader combined? I wanted to share the example of five amazing women I had the chance to meet for the first time (in person) after online exchanges. ❓Why amazing? Because they have led the shift in our industry since long, when it was even harder than today. They set the base for our work today! 🎈Five inspirations: Matt Poonin; shifting the way discover the Phillipines Carla Cantara-Wiegand; supporting hotels to get the visibility they need to besuccessful and create impact Laura Jara Reyes; a biologist wanting to show the true Colombia and make sure communities thrive   Cheryll & Kei; running their (Three Tree Hill Lodge) lodge with such deep connection to mother earth and their community Linda Veråsdal – working from Norway to Gambia and beyond to make people discover better places, support communities and create collaboration for impact. I get inspired, because of what these women do – them and so many more. Inviting you to reach out to other female change-makers in our industry. Ask them for help, collaborate and also create opportunities with them. Because we need more female leaders to be successful – they are crucial in the new travel industry. Let´s celebrate diversity, impact and collaboration. 💚ITB has been amazing to me. It was about the energy, the amount of change visible and the laughs and hugs. We have reached a level that highlights sustainability and local impact are game-changers and that despite the greenwashing around – we will learn, adjust but always improve. 🙏Together; better; impact. #impacttravel #sustainablehotels #travelbetter #partnershipforthegoals #femaleleadership #futureofhospitality

This event promises to be a beacon for innovation, inclusivity, and empowerment in our industry.

It was a pleasure meeting with 'Ronke Kokoruwe on my recent trip to London. Out of kindness, she visited me, and we chatted and got to know each other better. I first met Ronke when she spoke at the Rise and Lead Women - Rise & Lead Summit in 2022. After we issued a call for speakers, she reached out, wondering if it was okay for her to apply. I encouraged her, saying, 'You should apply and let the team decide if you qualify.' Fortunately, she was selected and her presence brought a unique energy and inspiration to the Rise & Lead Summit stage. She also brought along her friend Yemi. Today, I appreciate both of them because, whether they are speaking or not, they ensure they secure tickets to join the Summit in The Hague. One of the ways we promote diversity in our speaker selection is through our call for speakers. We made this call last week, which was supposed to have closed yesterday. However, the applications we have received so far still lack diversity. As an organisation deeply committed to fostering diversity and inclusion, we intentionally ensure that people of all backgrounds, including men and women with a unique message to share are represented on the Rise & Lead stage. If you're still wondering whether to apply, please do so today. Let the speaker selection team decide. We have extended the application deadline by another week to attract more diverse applications, including men. Please apply before the new deadline or share with someone you know. Read the guidelines and apply now. P.S: You don't need any special permission to apply. However, if you are not selected this time, it may be your turn next time. But do apply anyway through the link below. https://lnkd.in/eahKvRHV #Riseandleadwomen #rlsummit2024 #callforspeakers

Inspire Inclusion. This is the theme for this year's #InternationalWomensDay. While progress has been made over the years on gender equity, there is still so much work to be done to ensure that women and marginalized groups are: ✅ included -- that women of all backgrounds are invited and welcome to the table, including at the highest levels ✅ given access -- to support, education, resources, and investment ✅ provided opportunities -- in employment, entrepreneurship, and leadership. What might that look like in practice for the tourism sector to invest in women and not just inspire, but actually be, inclusive? 💡 Develop tourism products together with local community organizations and social enterprises that focus on supporting local women and marginalized groups. There are so many inspiring examples of this by Planeterra. 💡Hire more women at all levels of the organization, especially in leadership and management positions. While 54% of the tourism workforce is women, most of these are lower level positions. 💡Deploy innovation in gender diversity. Open positions and offer or expand training for women-led initiatives that might at first be considered unconventional. For example, Sakha Cabs & Chauffeurs in India trains women, often single mothers, to be taxi and professional drivers, a profession once considered “a man’s work.” 💡 Don’t just localize the supply chain, but make it more gender equal by choosing women-owned suppliers and local businesses. This approach will not only support your gender inclusive activities, but women-owned businesses tend to amplify and expand opportunity and employment for other women in the community. 💡Identify barriers and understand local women’s needs by asking -- not assuming for - them. Then provide the support they need to productively engage in projects, get the skills they want, and join the workforce.* For example, this might include offering child care or transport to and from work to alleviate safety concerns. 💡 Encourage women to be the storytellers and provide a platform to tell their stories. Especially in indigenous communities, we’ve found that women are the stewards of tradition and culture. Tourism companies are in an ideal position to amplify women's knowledge, stories, and voices by inviting women to be guides or speak as local experts. What else would you add? And why does this matter? Investing in women is truly an investment in our communities and future generations. #iwd2024 #womenintourism
