TAAI’s newest initiative – Women in TAAI and Tourism (WITT) aims to leverage the Indian travel tourism and hospitality industry to empower women with the opportunity to full-fill their economic and individual potential while growing the sector. “We act as a facilitator to make women equal stakeholders in the nation’s development and recognize the noteworthy contribution made by them. It will provide skill development and employability opportunities to women along with mentoring and networking workshops and events, not only in urban but rural India too. Under the WITT banner, we would be soon organising the first physical event in New Delhi, wherein some of the prominent personalities from tourism will discuss and share their views on industry and women related issues. In the future, I am looking forward to organising more such fruitful sessions,” said Jyoti Mayal, President, TAAI and WITT.
