Gender, Tourism Entrepreneurship and Social Policy
Author: Anna de Jong
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040227139
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
This timely volume is a novel and important contribution to scholarly literature on gender and tourism entrepreneurship, utilising feminist and post‐colonial frameworks to interrogate the role of social policies in facilitating inclusive tourism entrepreneurship. Drawing on contributions and case studies from across the Global South and Global North, this multi‐disciplinary collection identifies how regional variations in governance and policy influence the experiences and potentialities of tourism entrepreneurship as a promised avenue for inclusive growth for marginalised identities. Problematizing universalised constructions of entrepreneurs as necessarily masculine, western, and driven only by economic imperatives that seek to fix and dislocate entrepreneurial support, this volume takes focus with place‐based approaches to explore the intersections between identity, tourism entrepreneurship and social policy. It is this geographically informed perspective that seeks to account for the complexity of entrepreneurial experience, and the role of social policy within this, that constitutes an original contribution to the field. The focus on gender and social policy reflects the increasing importance of tourism entrepreneurship within the context of the UNWTOs Sustainable Development Goals. This book will be a pivotal resource for students, researchers, academics and policy makers in tourism, gender studies, development studies, sustainability and business.
