A recent report led by the University of Surrey has brought attention to the severe underrepresentation of women in the land passenger transport sector, which includes roles such as bus and train staff.

According to the findings, women account for only 3% of the workforce in this area, a statistic that underscores the ongoing gender disparity within tourism-related employment.

The data reflects countries where statistics are available, indicating a broader issue of gender inequality in the tourism industry that warrants further examination.
