Nominations are being invited for the second annual everywoman in Travel Awards, which recognise the industry’s most remarkable and trail blazing women.
Last year’s winners included Mary McKenna, who founded Tour America in 1995 in her sitting room in Ireland and developed it into a company with a €20million turnover; Abi Wright, founder of SpaBreaks; and Angela Terry, TUI contact centre manager who managed to persuade the company to reverse its decision to shut down the Swansea contact centre.
With new categories introduced for 2018, this year’s awards will also recognise the achievements of men who are advancing the progress of women working in the sector, along with women inspiring their communities outside the UK.
Entries are free and can be completed here: www.everywoman.com/travel-awards
Karen Gill MBE, co-founder of everywoman, said: "We launched the everywoman in Travel Awards in 2017 to recognise the best female talent in the industry. This year, we also wanted to celebrate the work that many men are doing to encourage more gender-balanced work forces at a senior level, which is why we have introduced the Male Agent of Change Award.
"The purpose of these awards is to recognise those whose contribution will ensure the future success of the travel industry and that women are able to participate fully and be recognised regardless of seniority or circumstance."
Entries are open until June 25. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the East Wintergarden, London on November 14.
