Tourism and hospitality industry are one of the biggest industries in the world that lack women in high managerial position. Even though women are dominating in hotel workforce (55.5%), they are still lead my men. According to Moran (1992, p.476) it is well-known that women are having difficulties making their way to high managerial position. Changes have been made throughout years, slowly, but there is still a place for improvement. Croatia is one among all those countries where the improvement is highly needed, as it makes only 6% of women in high managerial position. Interviews were conducted with seven women leaders from Dubrovnik, Croatia and with different work backgrounds. This method was used in order to find out why women are underrepresented in high managerial position. Results have shown very interesting facts about women and their way to the top. Further research needs to evaluate better leadership efficiency between genders.
