Abstract
This research delves into the transformative potential of empowering women through rural hospitality projects in India. The study explores how integrating women into the hospitality value chain can drive socio-economic development in rural areas while addressing gender disparities. It highlights the unique challenges faced by women in rural India, such as limited access to education, resources, and professional opportunities, and examines how targeted interventions can overcome these barriers. Focusing on case studies from diverse Indian states, this research investigates successful models of women-led hospitality initiatives, such as homestays, agro-tourism ventures, and handicraft-based tourism enterprises. It assesses their impact on income generation, skill development, and community upliftment. The findings aim to underline the importance of fostering partnerships between government bodies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to create a sustainable ecosystem for rural women in hospitality. The study also addresses policy recommendations to enhance women's participation, focusing on capacity-building programs, financial inclusion, and market access.
