UN Tourism and ITF Report Reveals Women Severely Underrepresented in Tourism Transport; New Plan to Address Inequality Launched
🛫 Women remain underrepresented in tourism transport, accounting for 36% of aviation workers yet only 6% of pilots. In land transport, they represent just 3% of workers, with 12% in water transport. Legal, cultural, and structural barriers hinder progress, and one in five countries lacks workplace harassment protections. Responding, UN Tourism and ITF have initiated a three-year plan to enhance gender-responsive policies, improve working conditions, and expand opportunities for women in the industry.
