All over the world, women constitute over half of middle management and front-line positions in hotel businesses, yet they are marginalized at top management positions. To examine possible factors that drive this gender imbalance at the top-most administrative structure of hotels in Canada, surveys were administered to management teams of nine hotels in Calgary, Canada. The surveys asked questions pertaining to gender gaps in career advancement in the Canadian hospitality field as well as insights as to what could be done to reduce gender discrimination in the Canadian hotel field. Results show that organizational barriers are the most frequently indicated element restricting job promotion of all hotel workers, regardless of gender.
