How women are transforming tourism in India the world most populous country and 4^th largest Economy.

Women are the backbone of the tourism economy. Of the entire global workforce in tourism, more than half is female. But due to gender stereotypes, the pressures of care work and other challenges, public-facing positions don’t always reflect that majority. Within this USD 11 trillion industry, women are often in the background, making things work, but are rarely visible.  But when women are given access to more prominent roles – backed by the appropriate training, investment and mentorship – the entire industry benefits.  When women undertake leadership and decision-making roles in local tourism, the entire perception of a destination change. Why women-led travel businesses are changing the game in IndFrom breaking stereotypes to redefining hospitality, women-led travel businesses in India are revolutionising the sector. With a keen eye for detail, a strong sense of community, and an innate ability to create unforgettable experiences, these entrepreneurs are crafting a more inclusive, diverse, and innovative travel landscape. But it is not just about business, it is about impact. Women are building ventures that prioritise sustainability, empower local communities, and cater to underserved traveller demographics, including solo female travellers and cultural explorers.
