Take a look at the shortlist for Women in Travel 2018!

Take a look at the shortlist for Women in Travel 2018!

Yes, we know we already released the shortlist. And no, we don’t have early onset Alzheimer’s. We just wanted to celebrate these fabulous women even more!

We also just wanted to make sure you didn’t somehow miss the shortlist – which could be awkward come awards night if you are shortlisted.

But how can you find out about this mystical shortlist? By reading it below!

In our opinion, the Women in Travel Awards are the best damn night of the year – when else can you get dressed up and celebrate the plethora of inspirational women in the travel industry!

Which is exactly why we’re re-releasing the shortlist – to celebrate the amazing women who made the list, and to thank you all for entering and supporting the awards for yet another year.

This event is truly one of the best ways to support growing female talent, and by attending you’re not only treating yourself to a killer night out, but you’re also letting everyone know that women in travel matter, that they’re outstanding at what they do, and that women are only getting more powerful in our industry.

Speaking of attending, early bird ticket sales are closing soon! In one week, to be exact. So grab them here while they last!

The Women in Travel Awards will be held June 21 this year at Doltone House Jones Bay Wharf. For all the nitty gritty details, check out the website

And another massive congrats to all these fabulous ladies!
