- Description
- In this special issue 'Cultural diversity and tourism' explores the author the role of women in Jamaican tourism. She describes how women's work is viewed in tourism and the economy at large: how the concept of emotional labor is used by workers as they bridge the gap between themselves and tourists: the role of tourism as a representative of the global economy and how women fit into this scheme. Three women tourist workers tell about their experiences.
