Abstract

AbstractDespite the growing number of studies on women empowerment in tourism, the topic has received scant attention in the expanding sector of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation. This paper sets out to explore the perceptions of female Airbnb hosts regarding the ways in which hosting on the platform contributes to their empowerment. Semi-structured interviews with 30 female hosts located in Greece were undertaken, using purposive sampling. Study findings reveal that women empowerment through hosting is achieved varyingly by female hosts, with several factors influencing the process. A framework of women empowerment through hosting is provided to illustrate the conditions, process and outcomes of women empowerment through hosting. Study findings provide significant theoretical insights which may serve as a point of departure for further research into this under-researched topic. Findings also make a practical contribution as they enable policymakers and industry practitioners to improve gender equality, which is essential for sustainable development.Keywords: Women empowermentpeer-to-peer accommodationAirbnbfemale hosts Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

点对点住宿环境中的女性赋权:爱彼迎女性房东的视角

摘要尽管对旅游业中女性赋权的研究越来越多，但这个话题在不断扩大的点对点住宿领域却很少受到关注。本文旨在探讨女性爱彼迎房东对平台上的托管有助于她们赋权的方式的看法。采用目的性抽样，对30位希腊女性主持人进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，女性主持人通过主持赋予妇女权力的方式各不相同，有几个因素影响这一过程。提供了一个通过主持赋予妇女权力的框架，以说明通过主持赋予妇女权力的条件、过程和结果。研究结果提供了重要的理论见解，可以作为进一步研究这一研究不足的主题的出发点。调查结果还作出了实际贡献，因为它们使决策者和行业从业者能够改善性别平等，这对可持续发展至关重要。关键词:女性赋权点对点住宿airbnb女房东披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。
