“…Tourism is a comparatively job-rich sector and provides jobs for relatively high share of women and youths. Globally, women constitute between 60 and 70% of the tourism work force, and half of its labourers are aged 25 or younger (Ferguson and Alarcon, 2015;Jimenez-Esquinas, 2017;Cole and Ferguson, 2015). Hence, it has the likelihood of promoting more inclusive progress in Africa.…”

This paper adds to the gender discourse in sustainable African tourism development from the corporate social responsibility (CSR) perspective. Specifically, we examine the impact of CSR on the development of rural women in cultural tourism. A total of 600 rural women were sampled across the Niger Delta. Results from the use of a logit model indicate a significant relationship between CSR and cultural tourism development in oil host communities in Nigeria. This implies that CSR of a multinational oil company (MOC) is a critical factor for sustaining cultural tourism. The findings suggest increased female participation in General Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU) interventions of MOC and the need to pay close attention to which extent the participation of rural women in the GMoU projects may be limited by cultural and traditional obstacles.

“…For politicians and craftswomen, bobbin lace production ‘[this] is not only about culture, this is also about an economic activity. And if it’s not helping the economy then there is no point in protecting it’ (10 February 2014, audio recording AU042, employee of the municipality working to promote bobbin lace) (Jiménez-Esquinas, 2016). They cannot understand the transformation of bobbin lace making into a cultural curiosity for tourists if it’s not economically profitable.…”

This article deals with the marketing strategies employed to promote the name of a place in a global context of heritage propertisation. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in two sites on the ‘Costa da Morte’ in Galicia, northwest of Spain, this article analyses the discourses and practices employed to commoditise place names and the strategies regarding place branding. In particular, two strategies are contemplated: first, the creation of a name to refer to a whole area, which is the case of the ‘Costa da Morte’, and, second, the name branding processes of two of the better-known villages on this coastline. Camariñas is developing a registered trademark for bobbin lace protection and the village of Finisterre is promoting the ‘End of the World’ as a tourist destination. This article focuses on the mechanisms by which place branding discourses and practices permeate various social agents and the naturalisation process of place branding structuring logics.

“…Rural tourism is a growing and changing sub-sector of travel and tourism, closely related to natural, social and community values, as well as to rusticity and authenticity (Hernández et al, 2005;Little, 2008;Pérez-Ramírez et al, 2012;Sandoval-Quintero et al, 2017). Mexican scholars have highlighted rural women's incorporation as a result of public policy strategy to foster social change (Hernández et al, 2005;Pérez-Ramírez et al, 2012;Rodríguez & Acevedo, 2015), while promoting the conservation of natural resources (Martínez Corona, 2003;Soarez et al, 2005;Suárez-Gutiérrez et al, 2016 Similar to other regions of the world, rural tourism in Mexico is heavily grounded on the rural idyll, with traditional social norms playing an important role in attracting tourists (Jiménez-Esquinas, 2017;Baylina et al, 2016;Browne, 2011;Little & Austin, 1996;Serra & Ferré, 2006). A tension emerges between the work opportunities that rural tourism provides to local women and the gendered roles that women are expected to perform, as well as the spaces where they perform this work (i.e.…”
