For the Gender Champion of the year
The first Award ever for Commitment to Gender Equality
It's now December, what a year 2022 has been, but we must always keep an eye on the future, and so, let’s think about 2023: GRT, an associate of Equality in Tourism, wants to share with all of you a relevant initiative and encourages all that have the requirements, to try and participate in it.
Among many interesting things, the next year will be the year in which a new type of recognition will take place.
Indeed, Equality in Tourism, the famous organization that works to promote gender equality in tourism around the globe, has launched a new award: Award for Commitment to Gender Equality.
This award, as Equality in Tourism says:
“It recognises tourism organizations that display excellence in their commitment to gender equality. It will reward gender equality leaders and highlight their best practices for replication and development across the industry. It aims to drive improvement and celebrate success, encouraging tourism businesses to integrate gender equality into their policies and work practices.”
The first Gender Champion of the Year will be chosen by a panel of judges, all experts in tourism, and the matter of equality and inclusion in tourism. The ceremony will take place on the 8th of March 2023, on International Women’s Day, at ITB Berlin; significant date and significant platform.
Any business in the tourism and hospitality sector can participate in the competition, you can apply on behalf of your company on Equality in Tourism’s site, by completing the questionnaire before the 17th of January.

In fact, this is not only an occasion for displaying the success and the accomplishment of a single operator, but it will also be an occasion for setting the example of the standards today necessarily required, in the matter of gender equality in tourism.
In addition, completing the questionnaire will be useful in gathering a good set of information and new gender-related data about tourism and hospitality businesses.
Why is this so important?
It is the first time that data about gender in tourism are collected.
Moreover, it will be one of the first occasions in which these results can be studied by experts and academics.
Finally, it is an opportunity to get to a wider vision of the future of more equal tourism, and the side where we want to stand
