2021 WINiT Top 50 Women in Travel Recipients


Fox World Travel, 2021 WINiT Award Winner for Company Culture

For more than 60 years, Fox World Travel has supported the advancement of women across the board, from entry-level positions with on-the-job training up to our executive team, which is currently 50 percent women-led. 2020 reporting showed that women made up 87.5 percent of our new hires and 50 percent of promotions as well as 63 percent of our leadership roles are held by women and 61 percent are women leaders who were grown from within.

At Fox, we feel our stance and culture speaks volumes as a leader in gender equality and we are so proud to be named as a leader by GBTA’s WINiT Awards for Company Culture. View video here.
