“…The findings are consistent with studies of a comparable kind conducted in Tanzania by Sharaunga and Mudhara (2021) and in Kenya by Phetha (2022), in which financial restrictions as well as a shortage of capital availability were identified as significant barriers to entrepreneurial success. Makandwa et al (2021) revealed that money, irrespective of the size of the organization, is critical to its achievement, but being unable to acquire credit to sustain the organization, as noted by Diale and Carrim (2022), is a significant obstacle to their efficient function of an enterprise. Significant financial levels, according to Chan et al (2023), had been made accessible when business proprietors fulfilled the credit conditions.…”

This research aims to determine barriers to the expansion of women-owned businesses in rural communities of South Africa. To collect data for the research, a quantitative research approach was adopted. The research focused on 250 female business owners in the northern KZN rural regions of Umzinyakude, Uthukela, and Ugu. According to the survey, the primary barriers to developing women-owned businesses in rural communities are financial restraints, an absence of formal education, and inadequate facilities. These hurdles, however, may be overcome by women businesses being entrepreneurs in rural South African communities. Eliminating these barriers might empower women entrepreneurs and drive growth in the economy in rural communities, lowering poverty and improving rural people's living conditions. In light of these findings, the research suggests a variety of measures, including different financing methods, focused training and schooling programs, and the development of infrastructure to help women-owned businesses flourish in rural communities. Further research should investigate more issues like cultural as well as social barriers, an absence of accessibility to marketplaces and information, and legal and regulatory obstacles that prevent women from starting business entities in rural communities.

“…Perempuan yang bekerja dengan sumber pendapatan sendiri tidak hanya mempunyai otonomi dalam mengatur pengeluaran pribadi namun juga mendapat dukungan lebih dalam memenuhi kebutuhan keluarganya. (Suyanto, 1996: 95) Secara psikologis, dinamika peran ini akan memberikan perempuan rasa percaya diri, motivasi, penghargaan, dan harga diri yang sama dengan yang dimiliki laki-laki (Ali, 2022;Hutchings, 2020aHutchings, , 2020bMakandwa, 2021).…”

Kesenjangan gender di sektor wisata masih sangat terlihat, hal ini tentu merupakan konstruksi sosial yang buruk. Kesenjangan ini mempengaruhi kesempatan perempuan berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan wisata karena dianggap tidak berdaya dalam mengembangkan desa wisata dan disibukkan dengan pekerjaan rumah tangga. Padahal, perempuan juga makhluk sosial yang memiliki hak yang sama pada sektor wisata. Jika perempuan diikutsertakan dapat memaksimalkan pengembangan desa wisata melalui ketrampilan dan kreativitas perempuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali peran perempuan yang dapat diikutsertakan dalam pengembangan desa wisata. Studi ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui hambatan perempuan dalam pengembangan desa wisata. Pendekatan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif yang memberikan penjelasan secara rinci, analisis yang mendalam, dan memahami fenomena yang terjadi sebagai hasil dari konstruksi sosial. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perempuan juga dapat berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan desa wisata sesuai dengan bidang yang perempuan kuasai. Perempuan dapat berperan pada pengelola makanan, innstruktur wisata atau tourguide, pengembangan kalender wisata, pelestarian lingkungan, dan pengembangan program wisata.

“…Female entrepreneurs are often abundant in the tourism industry due to the relative ease of entry and low start‐up costs (Madanaguli et al, 2021). This means female entrepreneurship can be a choice but is also often the result of contextual factors that encourage women to focus on sustainable tourism entrepreneurship (Makandwa et al, 2021).…”

The aim of this article is to examine whether female tourism entrepreneurs are more interested in climate change than male entrepreneurs are as part of their focus on sustainable entrepreneurial endeavors. A qualitative study of female tourism entrepreneurs is examined that focuses on three main climate change strategies: conservative, compliant, and proactive. The findings suggest that female tourism entrepreneurs are more influenced by their social circle and general interest in environmental issues that lead them to focus on climate change actions. The results of this study will help tourism providers, businesses, government, and the community better understand the role of gender in sustainable tourism entrepreneurship. Climate change is a topic of immense interest in society particularly for those in the tourism industry. Sustainable tourism entrepreneurs often focus on climate change action as a way to compete in the global marketplace and to derive a competitive advantage. Less well understood is the role of gender in sustainable tourism entrepreneurship particularly in terms of perceptions around climate change action.
