A recent study by Belvera Partners, a B2B travel tech public relations agency, reveals that only 15.6% of travel tech CEOs are female, highlighting the ongoing gender disparity in leadership positions across the sector. The study, based on the Belvera B2B Travel Tech Map and LinkedIn profiles, analyzed the gender representation in travel technology companies, shedding light on the persistent imbalance despite incremental progress.
The study showed slight growth from a previous analysis conducted in 2021, where only 12.4% of travel tech CEOs were female. Although this marks an improvement, the industry still faces significant challenges in achieving gender equality at the top leadership level.
