Founder and managing director Alessandra Alonso said the group has "exciting plans" to further develop its work with women in the travel industry, but said the social enterprise needs "investors to understand the value and support us". 

Her comments come as the group releases its inaugural Social Impact Report to mark its fifth anniversary, described as a "deep dive into the impact of life-changing initiatives and programmes" it has developed since its inception in 2018.

In the last five years Women in Travel has supported more than 1,207 women across all programmes and helped 154 women with over 1,200 hours of guided support through its employability programme.
