Powerful Womxn Who Are Changing The World: Prachi Thakur

An Interview with Natalie Ruiz

As part of my series about “Powerful Womxn Who Are Changing The World”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Prachi Thakur, the Diversity Strategist at World Women Tourism. She endeavors to make tourism and hospitality more inclusive.

Before meeting Prachi, I have to admit that I too have had less than stellar experiences when traveling alone or with a small group of other women, and I somewhat accepted this. Learning about her focus on making travel more equitable to all has been inspiring, and I am thrilled to introduce you all to the incredible Prachi!

Tell us about the work you do:

I am a Diversity Strategist at World Women Tourism. My primary responsibilities are managing and coordinating inclusive policies within the organization and the projects we take as a consultancy. Our efforts at WWT is to make Tourism & Hospitality industry more inclusive, and my role is to strategize the diversity initiatives we plan in collaboration with different stakeholders.

How did you get into this?

Well, a simple answer is — due to traveling.
