Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives is a
fascinating look at the behavior, motivations, experiences, and
needs of women as tourists and travellers, drawing on both historic
and contemporary eras. Surprisingly little research has explored
key issues, experiences, and opportunities in the context of
women's travel. This revealing volume fills this gap, exploring the
discourses, debates, and discussions about women, travel, and
tourism. With an international roster of contributors from diverse
regions of the world, the book celebrates a variety of women's
voices. Khoo-Lattimore and Wilson deliberately sought to include
nontraditional and non-Western perspectives on women's travel, with
inclusions of Asian solo female travelers; Islamic women travellers
and the constraints placed on them; and women who cannot travel (or
choose, for whatever reason, a 'home holiday'). This enlightening
volume brings together scholars from the broad areas of tourism,
hospitality, geography, and leisure studies to examine how and why
women travel. The chapters bring light to perspectives from
different countries, cultures, backgrounds, and religions, and
utilize different methods, approaches and styles of presentation.
Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives will be
of interest to academics and graduate students from a range of
disciplines, including tourism, leisure studies, sociology,
cultural geography, anthropology, feminist and gender studies,
business, economics and management; as well as professionals
working in the tourism industry, particularly those with an
interest in niche markets and segmentation.
