You don’t have to do entrepreneurship alone - grow your tourism business alongside like-minded wmn in 2025!

🔇🚪COHORT 6 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! 🚪🔇

wmnsWORK is so excited to share that applications for our sixth cohort, running from March 31st - June 20, 2025, are now OPEN!

If you are a woman or non-binary entrepreneur (or know one!) who started your own travel business in the last three years - whether that’s a tour operator, local supplier, boutique hotel, or travel planning business - but could use some extra support on best practices and accelerate your success, this is the program for you!

Our 12-week container helps to flatten the learning curve of industry knowledge and entrepreneurship through 3 pillars:

📖 Educational workshops (on key topics ranging from creating a sound financial plan to navigating self-doubt)
🫱🏿‍🫲🏾 1-on-1 Mentorship
👥 Community support from our team, your cohort + the 30 alumni who have already gone through the program through our community Slack channel

We have already had 57 wmn+ entrepreneurs from 18 countries go through our 12-week program, with rave reviews - so don’t just take our word for it!

Here’s what past participants have shared about their experience:

“The wmnsWORK accelerator program has been the single most transformational experience I’ve had since deciding to become an entrepreneur.”

“This program has given me the clarity, confidence, and connections I needed to move forward with my business.”

“I am the biggest cheerleader of this program and it has exceeded my expectations.”

“I can’t begin to say how much this program has meant to me.”
