Women in Travel Meetup event appoints Rooster PR

The Women in Travel Meetup aims to become the premier, international travel event platform, encouraging women in the travel industry to come together and support each other.

The event will have a particular focus on enabling potential entrepreneurs to tap into a support network they would not otherwise have access to when trying to set up their own enterprise.

Rooster will be responsible for the Women in Travel Meetup’s press office, managing both proactive and reactive media relations as well as running its social media channels and offering on-the-ground PR support at the event itself.

Alessandra Alonso, founder of the Women in Travel Meetup, said: “I’m delighted the Rooster team is on board to help raise awareness of this important event as it continues to grow into its third year. With its support, I look forward to an even bigger and better event at World Travel Market 2016 and urge both men and women in the industry to get involved and attend our sessions.”

James Brooke, managing director at Rooster, said: “With female travel professionals making up such a high percentage of the industry, this initiative is so important. We’re proud to be supporting the Women in Travel Meetup and look forward to helping women across the sector fulfil their career potential and reach key positions in the industry.”

Taking place on in London on Tuesday 8 November 2016, from 13.30 to 18.00, the Women in Travel Meetup will be hosting two panel debates with leading travel professionals and entrepreneurs, group mentoring sessions and a networking session.

In April of this year, the Women in Travel Meetup was extended to the Arabian Travel Market and the initiative hopes to be extended again to include Latin America Travel Market and Africa Travel Market in the near future.
