The ceremony, hosted by Women in Travel CIC, will be held on 21 June at Expedia’s offices in London’s Angel, and will place a spotlight on those individuals and businesses championing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.

Other organisations represented on the judging panel include the Business Travel Association, the University of Surrey, Inspire Global, ITT Future You and Google.

There will be eight awards across four categories – DEI champions, woman entrepreneur, talent and recruitment, and allyship – with each category honouring an individual and an organisation.

Alessandra Alonso, founder and managing director of Women in Travel CIC, said: “We wanted to begin to shine a light on those making the effort so we can learn from each other and work towards creating a more diverse, equal and inclusive industry for us all.”
