Abstract
Summary This case study focuses on the gay tourism industry in Gran Canaria and Sitges. These destinations in Spain offer a niche of service organizations intended for and marketed to gay customers. It discusses the sexualization and commodification of employees’ appearance (also known as sexualized aesthetic labour) and sexual harassment by customers. Specifically, the case study presents the experiences of hospitality workers, focusing mainly on migrant workers of colour, whose appearance and racial characteristics are commodified by employers to attract customers. This process of commodification leads to customers subsequently harassing employees leading to widespread third-party sexual harassment. Information © The Authors 2023
