Empower women through travel

Travel enriches, inspires and opens up new perspectives. It changes how you see the world, fosters your independence and builds your confidence. For many women, travel can be a life-changing experience.

But the power of travel does not yet work in the same way for every woman.

Behind every journey are millions of women who are part of the travel and tourism sector. For them, equal opportunities are still far from guaranteed and gender inequality remains a reality.

That is why the SUITSUIT Foundation works towards a travel and tourism sector in which women have equal opportunities and the freedom to learn, build businesses, lead and become economically independent.

We support projects and organisations that strengthen the social and economic position of women in travel and tourism, with respect for the local communities and environments of which they are part.

Because travel should enrich not only you, but also the women who make your journey possible.

PROJECTS & NEWS

EMPOWERING WOMEN OF NEPAL

Empowering Women of Nepal offers free tourism training programmes to women from mountain regions in Nepal. Although the training itself is free, accommodation during the training period is often the greatest financial barrier. With our support, several women can stay close to the training location and take part in the programme. This helps improve their prospects of finding work, earning their own income and becoming more independent.
