A report from Women in Hospitality, Travel & Leisure (WiHTL) concluded the number of women in top roles in the three sectors is set to pass the 33% mark in the next 12 months.
However, of the three sectors, travel lags behind in terms of the gender pay gap. Travel’s mean pay gap was 21.3%, compared with only 10% in the leisure industry.
The research also revealed that just 12.5% of companies had a number of black, Asian and minority ethnic (bame) staff equal to or greater than the proportion in the UK working age population.
