FITUR Woman 2026 – Empowering Women in Tourism

At the upcoming FITUR Woman program, the focus will be on economic empowerment and investment as the essential pillars of strengthening women’s leadership in the global tourism industry.

Economic Empowerment
- Highlighting how women entrepreneurs and professionals can access resources, training, and networks to thrive in tourism.
- Showcasing case studies of women-led tourism businesses that have transformed local economies.

Investment as a Catalyst
- Exploring the role of public and private investment in supporting women’s participation in tourism.
- Discussions on inclusive financing models, microcredit, and impact investment tailored to women-led initiatives.

Leadership in Tourism
- Panels will emphasize how women leaders are reshaping tourism with sustainability, innovation, and community engagement.
- Strategies for breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated sectors of hospitality and travel.

Global Collaboration
- FITUR Woman will bring together policy makers, investors, NGOs, and industry leaders to create actionable pathways for gender equality in tourism.
- Networking opportunities designed to foster cross-border partnerships.

Why It Matters
Tourism is one of the world’s largest employers, and women make up a significant share of the workforce. Yet, leadership positions remain disproportionately male. By centering economic empowerment and investment, FITUR Woman aims to close this gap and ensure women are not only participants but decision-makers shaping the future of tourism.
