Efforts to shatter the "glass ceiling" and promote women's equality in the hospitality and tourism workplace must start in universities, according to Professor Basak Denizci Guillet, Ph.D. graduate Dr Anna Pavesi, Professor Cathy Hsu and Dr Karin Weber of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The researchers note that statistics paint a bleak picture of women's involvement at the upper levels of the hospitality and tourism industry, both in Hong Kong and worldwide.
