Abstract
This paper raises the question of what an ecofeminist approach may contribute to ecotourism development. It addresses shared discourse in the international literatures of these distinct ecologically based fields of study. Concepts such as sustainability and environmental justice inform both bodies of work. We illustrate this through the words of ecofeminist Vandana Shiva and ecotourism researcher Tej Vir Singh. Uses of ecofeminist-based gender analysis in ecotourism development projects are examined, drawing from the observations of various researchers, and case studies from around the globe. In conclusion, it is argued that an ecofeminist approach asks critical questions for ecotourism development projects, highlighting issues of agency, gender awareness, and equity necessary for ecologically sustainable communities.
