This chapter links women’s empowerment and tourism lifestyle
entrepreneurship in Zanzibar. It shows that women who live in tourism
destinations see the possibilities to engage in tourism through lifestyle
entrepreneurship and gain the benefits that the industry offers. However,
their lifestyle is constrained by both societal norms and tourism industry
requirements. As a result, they have to create a space that allows them to
cope with these situations. Through in-depth interviews, the study found
that women have been creating spaces by choosing to be entrepreneurs
who either produce items for tourists in their households or sell their
products directly to the tourists. Moreover, by working in the tourism
industry, they have to choose a pathway to follow when engaging in
lifestyle entrepreneurship, that is, whether to seek tradition, income or
growth. So, for them, empowerment is achieved if they can make their own
choices. |
