“…A number of studies have found that women frame problems and solutions in ways different from men. Partly, because women are socialized to be more empathic, caring of others and the environment, more interdependent and collectivistic, and are likely to be more adept at teamwork (Skanavis & Sakellari, 2008;Zelezny & Bailey, 2006;Zelezny et al, 2000;Gilligan, 1982). These attitudes and behaviors ultimately influence information processing and decision making, where women engage in decision making that is more effortful and comprehensive when compared to males engaged in selective information processes (Ramkissoon & Nunkoo, 2012).…”

Not all groups in a rural community are expected to be homogeneous in their attitudes towards tourism development. For example, gender is a fundamental means to understand such differences. This paper examined the gender differences in support of rural tourism development. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Oraman County, one of the most attractive places for tourism in Iran, is taken as a study area to verify gender differences toward tourism development. Using a snowball sampling method, 134 people agreed to participate in the study. The study data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. All the study variables used continuum scales. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS. Results: The results revealed that men were more motivated than women to support and engage in tourism development activities in their communities. The result of a discriminant analysis revealed that such factors as "contribution of tourism to the community" and "desire for diversification" made a statistically significant contribution to the discriminant function. In other words, these factors contributed to a statistically significant separation between genders of the respondents. In addition to gender, the respondent's number of dependent children, education, and the dependency of their job on tourism made a statistically significant contribution to the discriminant function of motivation to participate in tourism activities. Conclusion: On the whole, the constructs used by McGehee et al. (2007) (replicated in this study) have the potential for assessing motivation to participate in tourism activities. However, gender comparisons on motivation revealed significant mean differences between males and females.

“…Tourism is a major contributor for the development of any nation. However, this "can also have ramifications, such as disrupting social structures, harming the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, and threatening natural and cultural heritage" (Skanavis & Sakellari, 2008). The population needs to be educated on this so that the effects can be minimized and eradicated.…”

“…The population needs to be educated on this so that the effects can be minimized and eradicated. Since women are engaged in many roles both in and out of the home, their "education and access to information are critical in order to acquire knowledge, develop the necessary skills and opportunities for participation in environmental decisions" (Skanavis & Sakellari, 2008). Prior studies indicate that women have a higher level of environmental concern and can play a huge role where safety is concerned especially at local level (Skanavis & Sakellari, 2008).…”

Fijian women continue to engage in decisive roles in the fields of economic and social development of Fijian society through paid employment services in the various sectors of the economy. In light of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and Fiji's commitment to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), striving a balance in the three pillars of SDG namely economic, environment and social is fundamental in achieving sustainability and overall growth of the country. However, with the growing concerns of gender equality across the globe, it is imperative than ever to sustain the growth of Fijian women through education, capacity building, improved healthcare, equal job opportunities and women participation and representation at national levels for decision making processes. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the various roles played by women workforce at The University of Fiji and their contributions towards sustainable development of women. The paper further examines the prospects of development and growth as well as challenges impeding Fijian women at The University of Fiji in realizing their potential to effectively and intensely contribute towards the growth of the country. The paper will plausibly explore resolutions to equip Fijian women workforce at The University of Fiji in order to effectively contribute towards the sustainable development and growth of Fiji.

“…In the tourism industry, the employment rate of women accounts for 46% compared with 43% employment in the economy (WTTC, 2019). Although, according to Skanavis and Sakellari (2008), gender inequality is still existing in tourism development. Thus, understanding citizen's perceptions of gender differences and improves knowledge, skills, and opportunities for women are the solutions to the problems.…”

Tourism has been one of important Cambodia’s key economic growth drivers (OECD, 2018). After Khmer Rouge, most Cambodian women have become head of their families and indispensable part of the development in all sectors in Cambodia, including tourism. This study aims to explore how tourism influences on managing women empowerment and the participation of women in sustainable tourism development in Kampong Phluk community-based tourism site, Siem Reap, Cambodia. The qualitative descriptive approach with in-depth interviews, has been used for collecting data. The eighteen interviewees had at least 2 years’ experience in managing and participating in community-based tourism, especially female members. The constant comparison analysis is used to analyze data collected from the interviewees. The result revealed that tourism truly brings many socio-economic benefits to the local community, especially female members of the community by empowering them economically, socially, psychologically, and politically. This study also found that women are the key contributors to the development of sustainable tourism in their community by participating in all activities regarding economic sustainability, socio-cultural sustainability, and environmental sustainability, by managing the benefits from tourism and distributing them fairly to all people in the community but minimizing the negative impacts on the community’s natural resources plus preservation of the local culture.
