Gender Equality in Access to Management in the Tourism Industry

Human capital is one of the most important stakeholders in the business, and the relationship between human capital and training is directly proportional. Equal opportunities between men and women are assumed as a focus of special attention on corporate social responsibility, through which ethical values are incorporated into corporate entities which recognize the inequality of opportunities as a handicap that should not be neglected by any business organization. Important points for the elaboration of this chapter are the recruitment and promotion of human resources in the tourism industry and an in-depth analysis of the weight of the legislative sphere on the ability to reduce the bias in terms of gender equality in the industry, especially in terms of management. This study aims to provide relevant arguments to support companies and employees in the human capital promotion, encouraging the quality improvement and competitiveness in the tourism industry.
