Gender in tourism,
Pages 247-266 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Farm tourism,
gender and the environment in Spain, Pages 267-282 This study analyzes the changing role of women in the new economic activity of farm tourism in two distinct areas of Spain: Catalonia and Galicia. One of the most evident effects of economic restructuring processes in rural areas is the need to create in situ employment alternatives to agriculture. Farm tourism is a valuable alternative for women which both allows the combination of domestic responsibilities with tourism work and represents an income source that supports continued small-scale farming and conservation of the countryside environment. Women's perceptions of the built and natural environments are changing in response to these activities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gender and tourism
in an Indonesian village, Pages 283-299 This paper examines tourism in Pangandaran, a traditional Javanese fishing village. It uses a gender analysis approach to gender roles and relationships, such as employment patterns, income, family structure and functions, and child-rearing. Tourism has had both positive and negative impacts; however, these vary between local and non-local people, and among socioeconomic classes. Moreover, there have been no development programs or projects aimed at improving the quality of life of women. These changes are occurring with little regard to gender roles and relations and to the social, cultural, and economic improvement of that quality of life (i.e., development), with the exception of increased income. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gender and alcohol
use in a Greek tourist town, Pages 300-313 This paper considers tourism's impact on changes in alcohol consumption by men and women in a small Greek town. Successive waves of foreign and domestic tourism have altered normative drinking patterns within the constraints of local gender ideologies. More specifically, foreign tourism has helped to create the addition of beer to men's drinking regimen of locally made wine and distilled spirits. The more recent phenomenon of domestic tourism, on the other hand, has loosened social restrictions on women's drinking in the town. These findings underscore the importance of gender in the social availability of alcohol. Furthermore, they indicate that the impacts of domestic and foreign tourism may differ significantly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crafting selves
The Lives of Two Mayan Women, Pages 314-327 An examination of the lives of two Highland Maya craftswomen of Chiapas, Mexico, illustrates how they have responded to opportunities created by tourism -- new markets as well as possibilities for encountering outsiders. In their relationships with tourists, both women have followed similar paths in transforming the traditional patron-client role to conform with a modern form of expressive friendship. On the other hand, the differing constraints of their crafts -- ceramics and weaving -- in conjunction with the nature of their ties to their communities have led them to construct images of themselves that diverge substantially with regard to cultural identification. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Souvenir-purchase
behavior of women tourists, Pages 328-348 Women tourists were interviewed to see if they fit the liberal or the cultural gender ideology, how they varied in souvenir purchases, and if they bought authentic souvenirs. The women represented the range of ages of early adulthood (EA) and middle adulthood (MA), and were frequent travelers who purchased many souvenirs. They exhibited characteristics of both ideologies and purchased authentic souvenirs. EA women made unplanned purchases in malls with their children. MA women made planned purchases in specialty stores and tourist shops with friends or husbands. Retailers should develop promotional messages that appeal to EA nonplanners, MA planners, and seekers of authenticity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gender and community
tourism dependence level, Pages 349-366 Rural Idaho residents were surveyed to determine their perceptions and attitudes about tourism. The towns represented three levels of tourism dependence: high, moderate, and low. The study goals were to assess if women and men had differing perceptions, and to determine if there were gender differences at different tourism dependence levels. Descriptive statistical analysis of individual items was followed with factor analysis, which showed no differences in gender perceptions. However, items analyzed separately exhibited some differences due to gender. While past research suggests women and men do not benefit equally from tourism, this and other perception studies show few differences. Further exploration could include in-depth interviewing, longitudinal studies, or combined efforts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A political
economy of Asian sex tourism, Pages 367-384 Sex represents an important tourism attraction for many developing countries. Like all markets, however, sex tourism is both an economic and political phenomenon. It cannot exist without sources of demand, where these types of transactions are considered to be socially and politically legitimate. In the case of Japanese sex tourism to Thailand, the market has been rocked by the development of greater women's rights in Japan. This has shifted the economic constraints on Thai policymakers, who are now confronted with a lucrative demand source that is increasingly avoiding sex destinations. As social movements change Japanese consumer choices and investment strategies, they affect genderized notions of the masculine "high politics" of international finance and economic development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sexual and national
boundaries in tourism, Pages 385-403 This article examines the roles of Turkish Cypriot and migrant women in tourism employment. While the participation of Turkish Cypriot women in the tourism labor force has increased in recent years, migrant women are employed primarily in those occupations that are considered "unsuitable" for local women. It is argued that the division of female labor, particularly between migrant and local workers, highlights women's dual role as social actors and symbols of identity. A case study of a group of Rumanian croupiers examines how local ideologies of gender and sexuality operate in, and are in turn influenced by, the incorporation of migrant female workers into the workplace and the neighborhood where they live. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marketing paradise,
making nation, Pages 404-421 An analysis of themes and images used to market the British Virgin Islands to tourists focuses on assumptions about sexual desire, nature, and sexual difference underlying references to its untouched and natural beauty. A comparison with themes and images used by British Virgin Islands residents in conceptualizing their connections to the islands reveals important differences and similarities. While the themes and images of the British Virgin Islands draw upon notions of difference, and difference is stabilized by positing it to be a fact of nature, what tourism marketing campaigns represent as the exotic object of sexual desire is constituted by the British Virgin Islanders as motherland and nation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For love and
money: Romance Tourism in Jamaica, Pages 422-440 Contesting the constraints of conventional gender identity, many Euro-American women travelers to Jamaica pursue romantic affairs with local men. By elaborating on features from their gender repertoire, men articulate the women tourists' idealizations of local culture and masculinity, transforming their identity in order to appeal to the women and capitalize on the tourism trade. The disparity in economic status between partners in these relationships creates an opportunity for women to traffic in men. This situation illuminates the links between economic status and dominance in gender relations and contradicts conventional notions of male hegemony. Power in these relationships is shifting and situational, playing off traditional gender repertoires, as well as the immediate circumstances of finance and cultural capital. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gringas and
otavaleños: Changing Tourist Relations, Pages 441-462 This article examines the romantic and sexual relations between young foreign women (gringas) and indigenous men (Otavaleños) in Otavalo, Ecuador. It argues that gringa-Otavaleño relationships represent neither First World dominance over Third or Fourth World people, nor tourism as an expression of patriarchy, but mutual fascination with, romantic misconceptions of, and sometimes economic exploitation of the other gender. The gringas are looking for noble savages and a pre-industrial utopia, while the Otavaleños want sex with a blonde, and sometimes financial support, especially when traveling. The article also raises the issue of the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases due to these encounters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Japanese craft
tourism: Liberating the Crane Wife, Pages 463-478 Snuggled in the Japan Alps, near scenic Lake Suwa, a small enterprise survives by hosting residential weaving vacations for women. Many Japanese women find it difficult to travel just for pleasure, but "education" and "tradition" cloak travel in cultural legitimacy. This paper explores the ironies involved in this leisure pursuit. The mills in this historic center of Japan's silk industry once exploited the labor of young rural women from poor families. Today, predominately affluent urban housewives pay money to study weaving, often as an excuse to travel. The women's own interpretations of their travel-weaving activities reveal how these constitute one form of agency enacted against hegemonic gender constructions in Japanese society. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democratizing
