Founder and Chief Experience Officer of Silver Compass Tours, Kelly Picarazzi, has featured on the global Travel Massive ‘100 Inspiring Women Travel Founders’ list published 8 April 2020.
As travel and tourism goes through a dark spell, we feel it’s important to shine a light on leaders in our industry we can look to for hope and resilience.
We’re publishing this list of 100 women entrepreneurs in our community to recognize their incredible achievements in creating positive change in travel, and in our industry.
These female founders have firmly made an impact in their respective fields — from tour companies, technology platforms, mobile apps, social enterprises, media and co-living spaces — and have paved the way for more women to be part of creating the future of travel.
💗 We’ll be celebrating their achievements, and we think you should, too.
