Diversity, equity, and inclusion is an area of intense focus and scrutiny across the travel and hospitality industry. Gender diversity, especially, is capturing attention because women represent a significant share of industry employees, yet a key industry theme is the challenges women face in obtaining promotions, earning the same salaries as men, and ascending into leadership positions.

 

Women Leading Travel & Hospitality, NAPCO Research, and the Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration’s Center for Hospitality Research partnered to conduct a workplace gender diversity study based on a wide sample of industry participants. The survey-based study focused on the status of DEI efforts in the travel and hospitality industry to uncover the ways organizations are addressing gender equality, while providing a reference point to measure for future progress.
