As a member of the World Travel and Tourism Council ( WTTC) we joined the Cancun Initiative: Women in Global Travel, that promotes the empowerment of women in this industry, with a special impact on gender equality. This initiative will allow women to cope faster from this crisis, which has hit especially vulnerable sectors of the population working in the travel and tourism sector.
According to 2019 data from the WTTC, women account for more than 50% of employment in the travel and tourism sector worldwide; however, it is not women who occupy strategic or high-level positions. It is proven that the female gender does three times more unpaid work than men. Therefore, the Government of Quintana Roo and the WTTC, launched a call to the leaders of the private, public and academic sectors to join forces and promote diversity, promote inclusion and achieve equality and equity for women in the force labor.
Joining this declaration represents a very important step in the history of our society, we recognize the importance of women in the world of work and their role in achieving our company’s objectives; we want to continue offering them equal opportunities and fair treatment that allows them to perform in a personal and professional way.
By signing the declaration we commit to promote greater economic, professional and social independence for the more than 37% of women who are part of its family around the world, and of course, to increase this percentage.
