Our Values
The Power of Women Supporting Other Women
The travel industry is still waking up to the economic power of women. While we are seeing more women in top roles, there is still a huge gap in boardrooms and on speaking circuits at major events.
TIEWN consciously creates programs and plans events for women to inspire and support each other. Education and mentorship are at the center of TIEWN’s Core Goals and we strive to provide opportunities for growth through our working committees.
