Last Call: Nominate the Women Leading Global Growth in Travel

Somewhere right now, a woman is opening a new market, leading teams across continents, forging partnerships across cultures or redefining what global growth looks like in travel. Chances are, she isn’t seeking the spotlight—but her leadership is shaping the future of our industry.

At Women Leading Travel, we believe those stories deserve to be seen.

That’s why we’re inviting final nominations for our upcoming research report, International Expansion: Women Leading Global Growth, publishing this September at our New York City Leadership Exchange.

This report will recognize the senior women leaders driving international growth across travel and hospitality—expanding into new markets, leading global teams, navigating cultural complexity and building organizations that reach far beyond their home base.

We’re seeking nominations for VP-level and above women leaders who are shaping international markets, global strategy or worldwide growth initiatives across every sector of travel, including hotels, airlines, cruise, tourism, destinations, technology, OTAs, rail and beyond.

Nominations close Saturday, August 1, 2026.

If you know a woman whose leadership is making a global impact, nominate her. And if that leader is you, we encourage you to put your name forward.

Help us recognize the women expanding not only businesses—but what’s possible for our industry.

Submit your nomination today.
