Happy International Women’s Day on 8 March.

The labor, strength and contribution of women in every area of life is one of the most important values carrying our societies forward. 8 March should be not only a day on which the struggle for equal rights is recalled; it should be a special day on which we once again appreciate women’s labor in every area of life and the value they create.

The tourism sector, too, is at a strong point today thanks to the knowledge, labor and the difference that women make.

Although women’s employment in tourism is above the Türkiye average, I believe that greater representation of women must be ensured, particularly at management levels. Women taking a stronger place in the economic, social and managerial spheres is of great importance for the future of our sector and our society.

Drawing inspiration from the strength of women, I believe that we will reach more equal, stronger and brighter tomorrows together.

I celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March with my most sincere wishes for all women, foremost among them the valuable women working in our sector.
