Özet
In this study, the role tourism sector on gender equality will be
further investigated in order to propose a reliable solution for the ongoing
debate on the relationship between gender inequality and tourism sector.
The paper will start with a body of literature on the impact of tourism sector
on gender equality based on the previous studies. The methodology will be
literature review and critical evaluation of the findings. Finally, the study
will conclude the fact that tourism sector has a capacity to provide
significantly higher amount of specific benefits for women and therefore
positively contribute to the establishment of gender equality. The
manuscript will investigate the positive contribution of tourism sector on the
well-beings of women in three different aspects. First, the economic
conditions of women prone to increase in the presence of tourism sector
corresponding to new opportunities of employment as well as creating
revenues for public spending, specifically to finance the social policies for women. Secondly, tourism sector enables social interaction among people
from different cultural backgrounds and provide an opportunity for women
in a particular destination to observe which cultural rights other women
have in other countries and open the eyes of local women for the rights that
they can obtain. And third, psychological well-being of women which is
measured by Quality of Life (QoL) is likely to increase as they take part in
the economic activities and social life. The paper will also suggest a model
in order to provide a quantitative analysis for the gender inequality,
including the possible related economic and social variables.
