Abstract

This study aims to examine the evolution of the literature related to human capital in the field of tourism, specifically addressing the gender dimension. It represents a novel approach to this field of study and promises to offer new perspectives and contribute to the debate on tourism management with equality of opportunity. To achieve this aim, a quantitative methodology was applied through a bibliometric analysis of 234 articles, published between 2020 and 2024, extracted from Web of Science and Scopus. Among the main results, a high level of collaboration and research on the topic, with a stable and growing trend, was observed. Influential journals include the Journal of Sustainable Tourism , Sustainability , and the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management . Future research is suggested to focus on the impact of the female human capital on tourism management, as well as a qualitative analysis for a better understanding of the topic.
