Abstract

Inclusivity has become a critical focus in tourism studies, but still limited attention has been given to how tourism advances women's economic participation in societies with entrenched gender roles. This study addresses this gap by examining shifts in gender dynamics across five villages on Iran's Qeshm Island following the rise of community-based tourism. Employing ethnographic methods, the research draws on in-depth interviews with 57 participants conducted during two separate periods in 2022, alongside observations. Findings demonstrate how tourism pathways can become more gender inclusive and highlight the importance of women's early engagement in tourism for advancing path inclusivity, leading to renegotiation of gender norms. The study underscores the role of community efforts and external support in driving sustainable gender transformation.
通过社区旅游促进性别包容
包容性已成为旅游研究的一个关键焦点,但旅游业如何促进女性在根深蒂固的性别角色社会中的经济参与,这方面的关注仍然有限。本研究通过考察伊朗格什姆岛五个村庄在社区旅游业兴起后的性别动态变化,解决了这一差距。该研究采用民族志方法,在2022年的两个不同时期对57名参与者进行了深入访谈,并进行了观察。研究结果表明,旅游路径可以变得更具性别包容性,并强调了妇女早期参与旅游对促进路径包容性的重要性,从而重新谈判性别规范。该研究强调了社区努力和外部支持在推动可持续性别转型方面的作用。
