FINANCING WOMEN IN GLOBAL TOURISM & HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

Development Round Table (DRT) presents its International Women’s Day 2026 Roundtable & Panel Discussions on Friday, 17th April 2026. The theme for 2026 is “Financing Women Founders in International Trade within the International Tourism and Hospitality Industry”. The event brings together stakeholders from across the sector. Together, they will examine the challenge of limited access to finance and share insights. They will also explore practical solutions and identify investment opportunities that empower women entrepreneurs globally.

Tourism and hospitality are among the fastest-growing service sectors globally, generating foreign exchange, creating employment, and facilitating cross-border cultural and business exchange. Women are active contributors to these industries, yet restricted access to financial resources limits their ability to scale businesses, participate fully in global markets, and assume leadership roles.

This one-day event positions finance as the key catalyst for unlocking women’s full potential in International Trade within the Tourism and Hospitality industry. By focusing on access to finance, the discussion aims to drive practical, actionable solutions that accelerate the growth of women-owned enterprises, strengthen their global competitiveness, and expand their share of the International Tourism and Hospitality market.
