The sustainability of gender norms
The present study examines women’s experiences of their physical appearance on holiday questioning whether gendered norms, focussed on the “ïdeal” body, are sustainable if women are to experience fully the health and wellness benefits promised in a holiday. While the research focus on body image has most often been adolescents and young women, this study explores the experiences of midlife and older women. Employing the feminist research method, …
Women of the Kokoda
The purpose of this article is to explore the power dynamics negotiated by women in local communities in Papua New Guinea (PNG) as they stake a claim in the development of sustainable tourism that is emerging along the Kokoda Track. The traditional understanding of power dynamics has been the "power as domination" perception, which attributes authority to dominant actors who exercise control over others. To comprehend the women's role in the deve…
Women’s “beach body” in Australian women’s magazines
Time as culture
Volunteer tourism engages the volunteer in a cultural exchange that is personal and often influential in their life experience. This paper explores one aspect of this exchange, the idea of time in travel, and finds that the volunteer tourist experience is particularly influenced by cultural time differences. When volunteer tourists travel and return home, the emotions and behaviours which emerge in their narratives of experience are usually frame…
Holiday bodies
The experience of time in long-term travel
Travellers' understanding and experience of the flow, pace of time and distinctions between past, present and future are culturally specific with many from advanced urbanised societies immersed in a life-style characterised as time-pressured. Leisure travel can provide opportunities for those from such 'harried' societies to escape these pressures of home. This paper explores the experience of 'time' of long-term, self-drive travellers in Austral…
Interconnecting mobilities on tour
While there has been a developing interest in mobilities amongst tourism scholars, the notion of immobilities has often been ignored. Yet, there are many people who do not participate in tourism or, if they do, only experience partial mobility. This study focussed on a tour to Italy by Traveleyes, a company which provides holiday opportunities for people with vision impairment as well as for sighted tourists who act as guides for those with impai…

A Critical Discourse Analysis of In-Flight Magazine Advertisements
The in-flight magazine is one of many industrialised print media to which the traveller is exposed. In-flight magazines, however ‘ideologically innocent’ they may appear, can be very powerful in representing the norms and values to which travellers should supposedly adhere. This paper builds on arguments that there is a lack of research on representation in tourism and focuses in particular on how in-flight magazine advertising produces, mediates…
The absence of childhood in tourism studies
The Voices of Older Women Tourists
Despite developments in the field of gender and tourism studies over the past ten years, there are noticeable gaps in the knowledge base. While the voices of women as tourists have begun to be heard, the voices of older women tourists have remained silent. Tourism studies have followed social trends in marginalizing this age group. This paper reports a study which was conducted on older women and their holiday experiences over the life course. Ta…
Memory-Work
Memory-work is a social constructionist and feminist research method that was developed in Germany by Frigga Haug and others explicitly to bridge the gap between theory and experience. It provides a way of exploring the process whereby individual women become part of society, and the ways in which women themselves participate in that process of socialization. It is a group method, involving always the collective analysis of individual written mem…
