It’s been a few weeks since Women Leading Travel & Hospitality presented our third annual report of top women executives in the travel and hospitality industry, and we are still tickled by all the buzz we have been seeing on social media about it!

There is good reason for the excitement: The 2023 Top Women in Travel & Hospitality report, sponsored by Allianz Partners, celebrates women leaders across the travel and hospitality industry who have continuously showed resiliency, perseverance and innovation. The report includes interviews with each honoree, spotlighting their leadership journeys and offering insights and advice for others. Honorees include:

  • Noha Abdalla, Chief Marketing Officer, Choice Hotels International;
  • Maruchy Cantu, Executive Vice President, Administration, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW);
  • Clio Knowles, Chief People Person, SH Hotels & Resorts;
  • Isis Ruiz, Chief Growth Officer, Virgin Voyages; and
  • Jessica Shannon, Chief Experience Officer, Sandals Resort.

Our top women will be honored at the 2023 Women Leading Travel & Hospitality Summit, happening June 5-7 in Nashville. If networking with these leaders sounds like a dream, get your tickets now before we sell out!
