Abstract
Abstract The aim of this chapter is to explain the importance of tourism action plans from a gender perspective, as well as draw out the implications thereof for discussions of sustainable tourism. The chapter begins by presenting the tension that exists with the gender perspective from a feminist approach and the consequence that this may have in a correct understanding of the real meaning and purpose of a gender perspective. In order to comprehend the real purpose of a gender action plan, this chapter stresses the urgent need for understanding that gender equality needs a feminist approach in order to conduct a good gender analysis. The second part of the chapter provides a reflection on the tourism sector's engagement from a gender perspective, concerning the development of tourism action plans, using two field experiences: one in Nicaragua and the other in Cape Verde.
