In honor of International Women’s Day, the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. crafted a unique opportunity for five students from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus. This initiative was designed to immerse them in the vibrant tourism industry of Barbados by shadowing successful women across various sectors. It aimed to provide real-world insights and inspire the next generation of female leaders.
Among the participants, Kiara Beckles had the chance to spend the day with Tracy Jones, the Director of Sales & Marketing at Hilton Resorts Barbados. This experience offered her a firsthand look at the intricacies of marketing and sales within the hospitality sector. Cedella Corbin was paired with Dawn-Lisa Smith of Dawn Lisa Productions, where she gained valuable exposure to the world of event production and management. Latoya Carter shadowed Dohne Clarke, the Deputy Operations Manager at Platinum Services BGI, delving into the operational aspects of the luxury travel industry.
This initiative not only commemorated International Women’s Day but also underscored the importance of mentorship and hands-on experience in fostering career development. By connecting these students with established professionals, the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. aimed to encourage and empower young women to pursue their aspirations in the tourism industry. Happy International Women’s Day to all, as we celebrate the achievements and potential of women worldwide.
