First Female Leaders in Travel Conclave hosted in Cancun

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Aug. 13, 2019 - PRLog -- The first Female Leaders in Travel Conclave, comprised of 23 travel advisers holding leadership positions at 18 travel agencies in the United States & Canada, met at Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun from July 25-28, 2019. The agents in attendance have a combined total of over $600 million dollars in annual sales.

Organized by Jennifer Doncsecz (VIP Vacations) and Vanessa McGovern (Gifted Travel Network), and with discussions led by Jennifer Cochrane (Gifted Travel Network), the weekend consisted of sessions about negotiation practices, leadership skills, practicing mindfulness, and personal experiences & lessons that have contributed to their success.

The Female Leaders in Travel Conclave was honored to present the first Luminary Award to Sra. Dolores López Lira (Grupo Lomas) for her exceptional leadership and for overcoming obstacles facing female leaders during her nearly 4 decades in the travel industry. During an interview conducted by Jennifer Doncsecz, Sra Dolores Lopez Lira described the difficulties & gender-based discrimination she encountered & overcame to become one of the top DMC companies in the travel industry.

"This conclave's goal was to form a collective group, comprised of females leaders in travel, to share insights, best practices, and develop strategies to support each other and further leadership positions for women in the travel agency arena, which I feel is desperately lacking in our industry," said Jennifer Doncsecz.

While women leaders in the travel industry continue to face unique challenges due solely to their gender, it is the hope of the Female Leaders in Travel Conclave that women can ban together to help each other grow as leaders and gain a stronger presence in the top positions in the travel industry.
