A systematic literature review of risk and gender research in tourism

Abstract

Resonating with a growing sense of uncertainty recently, an increasing number of studies have been dedicated to travel risk because risk and tourism are intrinsically connected. However, existing tourism risk literature was criticized for lacking theoretical foundations, which has resulted in fragmented understandings, including contradictory opinions regarding the effect of gender on risk perception. In response to these criticisms, this study systematically investigates tourism risk literature from a gender perspective, with an aim to map out what is known about the gendered travel risk and what needs to be explored further. The review findings suggest that a majority of existing risk and gender studies have prioritized the experience of Western travelers. The findings indicate a lack of a gender-and risk-focused investigation and theoretical framework, and a dearth of an interpretive and reflexive approach. A plethora of evidence of gender difference in tourist risk experience has been identified.

Smart tourism. Un estudio de mapeo sistemático

“…Existen diferentes técnicas para investigar la producción científica y productividad en el ámbito turístico ( Benckendorff, 2009), no obstante la técnica más utilizada son las SLR (Koseoglu, Rahimi, Okumus, y Liu, 2016). Durante los últimos años se observa como el enfoque cuantitativo en las SLR está resultando ser más atractivo para determinados grupos (Pickering y Byrne, 2014; Pickering, Rossi, Hernando y Barros, 2018), lo que está derivando en investigaciones que combinan enfoques cualitativos y cuantitativos aplicados a la SLR (Yang, Khoo-Lattimore, y Arcodia, 2017).…”

A review of eye-tracking research in tourism

“…on prior tourism review publications, important tourism databases are EBSCO Host (Hospitality and Tourism Complete), Science Direct (Elsevier), Sagepub and Leisure tourism database(Durko & Petrick, 2013;Yang, Khoo-Lattimore, & Arcodia, 2017). To ensure the quality of the review paper, only academic papers published in English peer-reviewed journal are included.…”

Potential Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment of Traveller Safety and Health on Malioboro Street, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

“…The risk of a vehicle colliding with a pedestrian increase as the number of motorized vehicles interacts with pedestrians increases. Potential hazards also could arise from conflicts with other transportation models, which consequently posed obstacles, traffic congestion and could cause accidents [10]. Malioboro has had pelican crossings, but passing vehicles could still cause obstacles, traffic congestion and the risk of being involved in accidents was high enough.…”

“…It becomes an important factor because it influences the continuity of visitors' activities in traveling. Security threats for visitors can be caused and influenced by various factors, such as local conflicts, natural disasters, terrorist acts and social behavior because these factors can disrupt visitors' comfort while traveling [7][8][9][10].…”
