Today we celebrate the inspiring women in our lives and their unique achievements, whether it be in work, personal life, or community. From mentors and industry colleagues to our suppliers on the ground and our adventurous travellers, we're grateful to work with so many inspiring women each day.

Today is also a day to reflect and take action towards accelerating women's equality. Did you know that women make up 54% of the tourism industry’s workforce globally, but hold less than 20% of general management roles and less than 8% of board positions?

As a woman-owned business, it's encouraging to see more and more opportunities for business support and community building that are aimed at empowering women to rise to their dreams.
On the theme of empowerment, we're excited to share an interview highlighting Heather Newman, co-owner of Pointhouse Suites on the Sunshine Coast. Heather has poured her passion for the outdoors, sustainable tourism, and architecture into creating a stunning guesthouse experience on the edge of nature.
