All the different positions I have been in &#8211; guest-facing\nat the LRC, working for a youth brand, my character building role with our\nIsraeli groups and Custom Groups \u2013 have all meant so much, and massively\ninfluenced who I am today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also met my now-husband at TTC and I had my son working for the organisation, so these major pivotal personal adventures have all become part of my career here. And not only that, I&#8217;ve also made lifelong friends through work, who are more like family to me.

Unemployment in Jordan for women is around 33% in urban areas, and even\nhigher in rural areas, which makes the Cooperative a life line. Founded by the\nNoor Al-Hussein Foundation in 1993, it aims to make the women of the area\nfinancially independent, and to raise their standard of living by increasing\ntheir income and preserving local heritage. Managed and run by local women, the\ncooperative has provided training projects for more than 150 women from all\nvillages of Wadi Seer, on a variety of handicrafts. As the cooperative is\nmanaged and run by members of the community, it has created&nbsp; job opportunities for women of all ages. The\ncooperative teaches the local women how to make a variety of different heritage\nproducts, which are also sold in the gift shop, and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TreadRight grant, delivered in partnership with Tourism Cares, allows the organization to consistently have the necessary materials on hand, complete a build-out of their gift shop, provide merchandising expertise, and allow the group to expand their food services, creating more income opportunities for the cooperative&#8217;s members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do you think it is so important for women to travel, and see how other women live around the world?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think travel brings woman courage. Through travel, you can learn that things will be ok and even when they don&#8217;t go to plan, it&#8217;s putting you beyond your comfort zone. It also helps to foster cross-cultural awareness, and the knowledge of how to behave in different settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED CONTENT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/secret-ingredient-international-womens-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The secret ingredient - Bea Tollman's thoughts on International Women's Day (opens in a new tab)\"><em>The secret ingredient &#8211; Bea Tollman&#8217;s thoughts on International Women&#8217;s Day<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you think the travel industry offers opportunities for women, more so than other industries? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>International Women&#8217;s Day not only recognises women for their achievements \u2013 regardless of their age, background, ethnicity or occupation \u2013 it highlights the need for a more gender-balanced world.
