Abstract

While research has increasingly examined women empowerment, empowerment processes for ethnic minority women in tourism remain underexplored. This study helps address this gap by analyzing the empowerment of Li ethnic women employed in an ethnic tourism attraction in China, selecting Binglanggu Hainan Li and Miao Cultural Heritage Park as the research context. In–depth interviews and observations with 34 Li women reveal five multidimensional empowerments across economic, psychological, sociocultural, political, and familial dimensions through four approaches, namely, Li cultural inheritance, employee participation, employee training, and incentive provision. The analysis is underpinned by elements of empowerment frameworks from feminism and tourism research. These five dimensions are decomposed into the resource-agency-achievement model, which explicitly illustrates dynamic (dis)empowerment. Findings provide practical and theoretical value regarding the empowerment of minority women through tourism engagement. The research suggests that tourism participation can empower ethnic minority women, but empowerment effects are complex and dependent on cultural contexts.

黎族少数民族妇女在旅游业中的多维赋权:中国海南研究
虽然越来越多的研究探讨了妇女赋权问题,但对少数民族妇女在旅游业中的赋权过程的探讨仍然不足。本研究选取海南冰糖葫芦黎族苗族文化遗址公园作为研究背景,分析了在中国民族旅游景点工作的黎族妇女的赋权情况,有助于填补这一空白。通过对 34 名黎族妇女的深入访谈和观察,揭示了通过黎族文化传承、员工参与、员工培训和提供激励等四种方法,从经济、心理、社会文化、政治和家庭等维度进行的五种多维赋权。该分析以女性主义和旅游研究中的赋权框架要素为基础。这五个维度被分解为 "资源-机构-成就 "模型,该模型明确说明了动态(非)赋权。研究结果为少数民族妇女通过参与旅游业增强权能提供了实践和理论价值。研究表明,参与旅游业可以增强少数民族妇女的权能,但增强权能的效果是复杂的,取决于文化背景。
