Abstract

Gender profoundly influences all aspects of tourism teaching and knowledge production and practices, yet it lacks the critical and reflexive understanding it deserves. In response the Routledge Handbook on Gender in Tourism: Views on Teaching, Research and Praxis aims to fill the gap in gender studies in tourism, offering critical insights, diverse perspectives, and practical guidance for future research and policymaking. This chapter provides an oversight on how this handbook delves into the profound influence of gender on aspects of tourism teaching and learning, research and practices. It explores how adopting a gendered lens challenges conventional knowledge and benefits marginalised communities, suppressed research areas, and silenced voices. Across six parts, the book covers a wide range of gender-related topics in the tourism context, such as gender identities, sexualities, discrimination, workplace challenges, and entrepreneurship.
