It’s that time of year again: TravelPulse is compiling its annual list of the most influential women in travel.
A tradition that TravelPulse began back in 2021, each year we shine a light on all of the important and visionary things women are doing in the travel industry. That includes women’s efforts to support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), their leadership on sustainability and conservation issues, and their bold strides when it comes to helping companies achieve business goals and objectives.
Past year’s lists have featured all manner of industry luminaries and trailblazers representing the airline industry, cruise industry, tour operators and more. That has included such well-known industry leaders as Carmen Roig, from Princess Cruises; Camille Olivere, from the Globus Family of Brands; Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara, and Heather Heverling, president of Audley Travel, to name merely a few of the accomplished women we have showcased over the years.
Do you work with, know, or are you personally a woman who is actively shaping the future of the travel industry? Nominate them or yourself to appear on this year’s list.
Use this Google form to submit your nomination. And be sure to get your nomination in no later then February 13, when the nomination process closes.
There are no specific requirements for the individuals being nominated other than they are involved in work within the travel industry and they’re having a significant impact or making a difference in some way.
We look forward to receiving your nominations!
