Dr Prachi Thakur's Linkedin Analytics

When I started travelling alone, I realised that the travel industry needed to become more inclusive, and that is the core of all the work I do. Today, I work to make people in the travel industry better via customized diversity training, modified workplace policies and more research translated to reality. Utilising my wide experience of interacting, collecting, and documenting solo female traveller's experiences, I bring inclusion to reality via four main roles: ⚡ Training – I have trained students, executives, travel professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs across the USA, India, Denmark and Canada. I use my experience of interacting with diverse audiences to design experiential and engaging training sessions for both virtual and live audiences. ⚡Consulting – With my experience of contributing to the Gender Report for Women in Tourism for Asia and the Pacific (UNWTO) and the evaluation report of an international agency, I bring my expertise in working with global teams on high-level policy formation and evaluation to consult brands on inclusion-focused outcomes. ⚡Teaching – I believe in working today for a better tomorrow, and I engage with students to prepare them for building an inclusive workplace. I have designed and delivered India’s first inclusion-focused course module at Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration, Manipal. I have also been invited for lectures at Washington State University and Torrens University Australia, among others. ⚡ Research – Being a researcher at heart, I am an editorial board member for Tourism Management Perspectives and Asian Tourism Research. Currently, I am also editing a special issue for Tourism Recreation Research on empowering marginalised voices in tourism. (For people who don’t know, these all are international academic journals.😉) ⚡ Mentorship – To give back what I have got and built, I am part of multiple mentorship programs which assist participants in building their future. I am a listed mentor at RMIT University, Viet Nam, and coach mentees in my personal capacity to build the life they desire. For all things diversity, inclusion, research, and discussions in travel or mentorship, reach out to me and let’s explore how I can assist you in your journey!
