UNWTO, in collaboration with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and UN Women, has launched a free online training course focused on gender equality at the tourism industry
The course, which is available through atingi.org, is part of the pioneering ‘Center Stage’ project that is putting women’s empowerment at the center of tourism development. Aimed at national tourism administrations, tourism businesses, tourism students and civil society organisations, it focuses on the importance of gender equality, why empowering women matters and what steps can be taken to promote diversity and inclusion efforts across the industry.
The UNWTO Secretary General said: “Education is key to reinventing the future of tourism and although our sector employs a large number of women, equality is still a long way off. We call on all tourism businesses and organizations to use this free course to train their staff and help us ensure that tourism continues to be at the forefront of gender equality efforts.”
The training course can be taken free of charge at any time in English, Spanish, Arabic, French and Russian at atingi.org. Users receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.
