Women in Travel CIC, the social enterprise dedicated to empowering women though employability and entrepreneurship in the travel industry will this month host two events for BAME travel professionals and those who aspire to join the travel industry.
As part of BAME Women in Travel?s April schedule, business and lifestyle coach Tracy Durrant will host a live webinar on April 24. Tracy will share crucial tips on how to plan, launch and grow a thriving travel business during the webinar. It is free for registered attendees and will be moderated by Eulanda Shead Osagiede, executive director of BAME Women in Travel.
On April 29, BAME Women in Travel will also host its first mentoring session with author and travel influencer Esra Alhamal, a Saudi travel content creator based in London. Taking place at the Georgian House Hotel in London, the event will see Esra talk about how she sustainably transitioned into a lifestyle filled with travel by creating various streams of income within and outside of the travel industry. The event requires pre-registration.
The events in April will mark the first of several sessions already planned by the new BAME Women in Travel initiative, which was officially launched during an evening event at the Royal Society of Arts in London on March 11. The initiative assists black, Asian and minority ethnic women in the travel and tourism industry to fulfil their economic and individual potential through customised training and mentoring services aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and employment.
Speaking about the upcoming events, Eulanda Shead Osagiede said: ?The Women in Travel team is excited to kick off a dynamic lineup of resourceful events targeted at early to advanced career-stage women in the travel and tourism industry. We plan to continue assessing the needs of the BAME community and will add additional workshops and seminars as the year progresses.?
