As a juror for the International Women in Travel & Tourism Forum (IWTTF) Awards, Sara is proud to celebrate the individuals and organisations driving positive change across travel and tourism.

Quote:
“The IWTTF Awards shine a spotlight on the people and organisations driving meaningful change in our industry. By recognising innovation, leadership and a commitment to inclusion, they inspire others to challenge the status quo and raise the bar across the travel sector.
If you’re considering applying, I would encourage you to do it. Every story has the power to inspire others, and sharing your achievements helps demonstrate what is possible. Whether you’re just starting your EDI journey or have been championing change for years, your work deserves to be recognised. Together, we can build a more inclusive, representative and sustainable future for travel.”
