While contemporary popular discourses dismiss gender and feminism
as passe, patriarchy and sexism continue to limit human
possibilities around the globe. The tourism industry can be a force
for empowerment but it can also shore up exploitative gendered
practices. At the same time, tourism enquiry itself continues to be
dominated by western, masculinist approaches.This collection of
studies seeks to advance feminist and gender tourism studies with
its focus on embodiment. Broad themes include the construction of
narratives, how discourses of desire, sensuality and sexuality
pervade the tourism experience, the use of the body to represent
femininity, masculinity and sensuality, and finally how travel and
tourism allow for empowerment, resistance and carnivalesque
opportunities."
