Applying Gender X Cultural Perspectives in Tourism Research

Abstract:

Gender has become an increasingly prominent lens in tourism research, generating a growing body of work that examines women’s roles and experiences across travel, employment and entrepreneurship. This presentation reviews these developments and highlights the value of integrating gender with cultural perspectives. Drawing on an intersectional lens, it examines how women’s experiences are shaped by the interplay of social, cultural, and structural influences. It also outlines key theoretical and methodological considerations, and identifies future research directions that advance inclusive, context-sensitive and diverse understandings of tourism experiences and practices.
