Inspirational women in travel to be recognised by Intrepid
Intrepid is on the hunt for tales of inspirational women in the travel industry ahead of next month’s International Women’s Day.
The adventure operator is urging agents to share stories of colleagues who have excelled is some area of their work and shown ‘outstanding strength, resilience or innovation’ during the pandemic.
Intrepid Head of Business Development Joanna Reeve said: "Intrepid is committed to advocating for gender quality, and celebrating the achievements of remarkable women is an important part of that.
"We want to hear stories of women who, despite the greatest challenge our industry has ever seen, have led the way and inspired others.
"Maybe they’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to look after their customers, taken their business in a new direction or even embarked on a new career. We can’t wait to hear their stories."
The most inspirational story will win the nominee a place on Intrepid’s Women’s Expedition to Morocco in 2022.
Led by a local female tour leader, the women-only group will explore Morocco away from the tourist trail and learn about the everyday lives of Morrocan women
Nominations can be made through the Intrepid Loves Agents Facebook group Intrepid Loves Agents Facebook group before 4 March.
The winner will be announced on International Women’s Day on March 8 with a live Q&A on Intrepid Loves Agents.
