Barrhead Travel chief Sharon Munro has been named one of the most influential women in the travel industry in the past 60 years by the Association of Women Travel Executives.
The industry body has unveiled its ’60 for 60′ shortlist of influential women in the travel industry to mark its 60 anniversary.
Munro has been recognised along with fellow industry leaders such as Harriet Green, chief executive of Thomas Cook; Chris Browne, chief operating officer at TUI Travel; Martha Lane Fox, co-founder of Lastminute.com and Carolyn McCall, chief executive of easyJet.
Commenting on making the 60 for 60 list, Munro said: “I have often said the travel industry is a real celebration of women in business – it is a sector in which women have taken the lead role for many years.
“It is a wonderful honour to sit alongside so many influential names and fantastic to be recognised for making a mark on the industry. I hope this list will inspire and empower more young women to consider a career in travel. It is a magnificent business to be a part of.”
