In an industry where women make up the majority of the workforce but remain a minority in decision-making rooms, this endorsement is more than symbolic – it’s strategic.
The Women in Transport and Tourism Association (WTTA) – a powerhouse voice for gender equity across mobility and tourism has officially backed Harry Theoharis for Secretary-General of UN Tourism.
Why? Because he walks the talk.
This isn’t about optics. It’s about action. It’s about a leader who has shown time and again that empowering women isn’t a side note to his agenda, it is the agenda. From grassroots engagement to political reform, Harry has proven that inclusive leadership is not only possible, it’s powerful.
When women say he’s the right choice, they’re not just endorsing a candidate.
They’re endorsing a future.
