ViaVia Jogja has from the beginning practiced affirmative action of women to even out the fact the men are overly represented in the tourism industry and in management positions. As a result the majority of our staff are women, and all our managers are women. By challenging and changing the role of women, we have seen through the years that the stereotypes about women in the tourism industry have changed, which again has made ViaVia Jogja a safe workplace for women.
We want to show to the world that Indonesian women are professional and competent. We also want to provide travelers with an opportunity to get alternative perspectives on life, culture, values and religion as most other tour guides and people offering their opinions are men.
Through the years we have recruited brave and strong women, who dare to speak up, question things and share their ideas. They have become the heart and soul of ViaVia Jogja.
