RT Journal Article T1 Females’ perspectives on tourism’s impact and their employment in the sector: The case of Petra, Jordan A1 Alrwajfah, Moayad Mohammad A1 Almeida-García, Fernando A1 Cortés-Macías, Rafael K1 Viajeras jordanas AB This study aims to explore the trend towards gender equality in the tourism sector of the Petra region, Jordan. To do so, a mixed methods design including a questionnaire and in-depth interviews was employed for female residents of rural and urban areas in the region. The results show that women do not have favourable view of tourism’s economic impacts and that several barriers exist to their employment in the tourism sector. The findings’ implications and future studies are addressed. PB Elsevier YR 2020 FD 2020 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/44973 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/44973 LA eng NO Alrwajfah, M.
