Abstract

Nowadays, an important topic on a global scale is the gender equality and the female empowerment. In some countries, there are women who still suffer some forms of direct or indirect discrimination. Overcoming these problems was set back in 2000 in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Now the global citizenship is seeking for alternative ways to improve the socio-economic state of the womanhood. A tool for minimizing the negative aspects of young women's life can be considered the international tourism. It empowers the social group in two ways: psychologically and economically. The aim of the current study is to discuss the multifunctional role of tourism in the process of female gender identity protection. Furthermore, the research sets up some challenges for the global tourism facing the new role of women on the world stage.
