A critical analysis of tourism, gender and poverty reduction (2012, methodology): “For example, Scheyvens (2000) argues that because women’s roles tend to place them in close connection with the natural environment, they develop specialist knowledge of that environment, as well as an interest in protecting it.”
Tourism and poverty reduction: theory and practice in less economically developed countries (2012, background): “The link between gender, tourism and poverty is neglected in tourism research, and this is despite some PPT developments focusing on female empowerment and women’s roles in tourism and enterprise development (Ferguson, 2010; Flacke-Neudorfer, 2007; Scheyvens, 2000; Tucker, 2007; UNWTO, 2011b).”
Tourism and poverty alleviation: perceptions and experiences of poor people in Sapa, Vietnam (2014, background): “In discourses of sustainable tourism, community-based tourism, and PPT, the empowerment of women is much debated (e.g. Ferguson, 2011; Scheyvens, 2000).”
Empowerment and resident support for tourism in rural Central and Eastern Europe (CEE): the case of Pomerania, Poland (2017, background): “Scheyvens (1999, 2000) positions it as an essential element of a successful tourism destination, and Boley et al. (2014) have found that the more residents perceive themselves psychologically empowered through tourism, the more they are likely to support tourism.”
