GTMC joins forces with Women in Travel
Business travel body GTMC has signed a collaboration agreement with social enterprise Women in Travel, which is dedicated to empowering women through employability and entrepreneurship in travel, tourism, events and hospitality.
GMTC will encourage its TMC members to access the services offering by Women in Travel, particularly in the areas of recruitment, training and development and its conferences and workshops.
GTMC chief executive Adrian Parkes said: "Our members are amongst the fastest growing employers in the UK and internationally, representing over 12,500 employees. Talent is hard to come by and businesses are acutely aware of their need to become both more creative and inclusive about the way they recruit in order to meet current and future needs.
"Women in Travel’s services tap into talent currently below the radar and provide an innovative and socially minded way to meet our members’ requirements’."
Women in Travel founder and director Alessandra Alonso said: ‘We are grateful to the GTMC and delighted by the opportunity to work with some of the best companies in the business travel sector.
"We know that there are many women out there looking for an opportunity to regain stability and personal dignity through employment. The travel sector is both attractive to women and fast growing and we see no better opportunity for them than being introduced to some of these best-in-class employers."
