The thirty-first discussion forum is on “Women in Tourism: Unpacking Entrepreneurship and Livelihood Prospects”. With this forum, we attempt to unravel the complexities of women’s roles in the tourism sector and the opportunities that are available for them. The discourse would consist of the current trends of participation of women in the sector, the scope, what are the challenges and opportunities for women as formal or informal workers, entrepreneurs; how the tourism sector could play an important role in providing women a secure source of livelihood, independency and identity. Further, identifying the policy lacunae, the discussion would conclude with a set of policy recommendations to bring gender in the mainstream tourism sector and help boost women’s participation in diverse roles.
