AbstractDespite the rich and diverse tradition of research on the gender dimensions of tourism, such studies have had little impact on transforming unequal gendered power relations in the sector itself. In this paper, we are concerned with why this is the case and what steps might be taken to redress this situation. The paper argues that the challenges inherent in gender mainstreaming processes within public policies worldwide are replicated and – to some extent – exacerbated in the tourism sector. We contend that, despite its substantive insight into the sector, the impact of such literature has been minimal. We further suggest that this is, in part, due to the sustainable tourism paradigm's resistance to incorporating gender equality and gender analysis as core principles. In order to develop these arguments, we reflect on our experiences as specialist consultants in gender and sustainable tourism, drawing out some of the key tensions of integrating gender into sustainable tourism projects. In conclusion, we argue that there is substantive work to be done for gender to be integrated into the theory and practice of sustainable tourism, offering recommendations as to how this process might be improved.性别和可持续性旅游:理论和实践的意义尽管在旅游的性别方面的贫富研究有一定的重要性,这些研究对传送不平等性别权利关系又很少的影响。在该文章中,我们考虑这是为什么,来重新考虑该状况需要什么步骤。该文章讨论世界公共政策里的性别主流过程中有许多挑战在旅游业中一定程度上复制和加剧。我们承认尽管在旅游业中有很深的视角,这一类的文献影响却很小。我们进一步建议这是,一部分,因为可持续性旅游范例的抵抗来结合性别平等和性别分析作为主要的原则。为了发展这些论点,我们反映在我们作为在性别和可持续旅游的专业咨询师的经历,得出一些融合性别于可持续旅游项目的主要张力。总的来说,我们讨论为了将性别融合于可持续旅游的理论和实践中这里有大量的工作需要做。为了提供该过程如何提高提出建议。Keywords: gender equalitysustainable tourism projectsgender perspectivedevelopment planningwomen's empowerment关键词: 性别平等可持续旅游项目性别观念发展规划妇女权利 AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their substantive comments on the first draft, Ruya Leghari for research assistance and Stroma Cole and Tricia Barnett from Equality in Tourism for ongoing support in this field.Notes1. http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/beijing/pdf/Beijing%20full%20report%20E.pdf2.
