Abstract

     The object of this paper is to demythologise the idea that rural tourism is a way of incorporating women onto the remunerated labour market. Through an analysis of the relations of gender we highlight that in tourism activity women play a role similar to that of the housewife and that this role is reinforced by tourism. She remains invisible whilst men monopolise all those tasks that require skilled training and maintain direct contact with the tourists. We examine the division of work according to gender, the working day and how they combine tasks from various areas of production.
