Omega World Travel CEO Gloria Bohan wins ASTA’s first Icon Award: Travel Weekly

Date:

Gloria Bohan, founder and CEO of Omega World Travel, has received ASTA’s first Icon Award.

ASTA said the Icon Award recognizes women who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in the travel industry.

Bohan grew Omega World Travel from a one-woman shop founded in 1972 to the large travel seller it is today, sitting at No. 21 on Travel Weekly’s 2023 Power List with $730 million in 2022 sales. 

Within Omega, she created the Women’s Leadership Forum to support women’s professional growth in the travel industry. She has also been an active promoter of gender equality and diversity, ASTA said, and an advocate for more women in leadership positions.

“Bohan’s efforts have not only provided opportunities for women in travel but have also inspired and paved the way for future generations,” ASTA said. “Her dedication to empowering women and creating a more equitable industry has made a lasting impact and serves as a testament to her influential role in the travel sector.”

The first Icon Award was sponsored by Windstar Cruises and presented to Bohan by ASTA president and CEO Zane Kerby and Dianna Rom, Windstar’s vice president of sales.
