“…The enjoyment of landscapes and environmental elements favor such physical and spiritual health [20,23,24,87]; thus pilgrims perceive the charm of the Camino, and are excited about what they are doing; a sort of "Camino effect" affects their vision. However, Honggang Xu [93] reminds us that public spaces are not innocuous and objectively defined, but are rather politicized, sexualized, subjective, and gendered. Additionally, Annette Pritchard and Nigel J. Morgan [72] warn that tourist landscapes are constructed as "masculinized" and built for the movement and enjoyment of men, often at the exclusion and isolation of women.…”

Rural areas have turned into multifunctional areas. They satisfy different economic and social requirements; among these, they are consolidating their position as film production locations. Becoming a film location ensures visibility and provides new forms to access sustainable economic trajectories to promoting rural areas and rural vitality. In some cases, filmic discourses present unequal gender treatment that may be associated with their locations. Considering this, the aim of this research was to explore cinematic discourses based on the symmetry or asymmetry in gendered cinematic representations that mainly occur in the rural space of the Camino de Santiago (Spain). This First European Cultural route crosses urban and rural centers that have benefited in different ways from its international recognition. By combining both the linguistic and visual codes, I engaged in a qualitative film discourse analysis concerning female pilgrims along the route. Despite of the feminization of the Camino, the results prove the permanence of gendered norms and societal roles in audio-visual productions based on a common latent ideology. The conclusions introduce the concept of social and relational sustainability as a way to achieve equal gender treatment when creating media discourses.

“…On the topic of gender equality, children in all destinations think that both sexes are equally suitable for work in tourism, while only children in Erzurum and Topola think in statistically higher proportions that tourism is a job for men. In line with this, tourism research shows that gender inequalities in the industry still exist (Xu, 2018) regardless of some studies finding support for the initial hypothesis that tourism can help in improving women's statuses by providing job opportunities and increasing their income (Gibson, 2001).…”

For years, sustainable tourism has commanded the attention of academics and practitioners given its achievement through participatory planning. However, much research in the area has neglected to consider all voices of those (i.e., children) affected by tourism. This study, employing a post-test only experimental design, addresses this gap by including the voices of 498 children from six diverse European destinations concerning perceptions of tourism. Results show that children are willing to express their opinions given the opportunity. Moreover, their attitude towards tourists is negative, while they perceive locals to hold a subordinate position to tourists. In general, this study offers insight into children's attitudes to tourism from the host perspective, demonstrating that there is a unique insider's perspective that needs further research.

“…Gender characteristics could influence the development of all sectors. There is a stereotype of gender in which women become discriminated against and face structural obstacles with men (Xu, 2018). Tourism presents as a gender equality friendly sector.…”
