UN Tourism #IWD24 Webinar Series: Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress

To mark International Women’s Day 2024, UN tourism is hosting a series of webinars in different world regions on the official theme of ‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress’.

Women make up 54% of the tourism workforce but are concentrated in lower-skilled, lower-paid and often informal employment.

Even though women are faced with less opportunities for career progression, more difficulties to open a business and higher barriers to education and training – the tourism sector is brimming with empowered women and strong initiatives leading the way towards gender equality.

During this webinar series we will learn from some of the leading female voices and successful gender-equality programmes from the tourism sector in different world regions. In 2024 UN Tourism is saying that it is time to Invest in Women. Join us for this webinar series and leave with excellent ways on how to do just that.
