Constructing Community-Based Tourism Identity Through Gender Practices: A Case Study of Women on Thieng Lieng Island, Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: : This article examines the process of constructing community-based tourism identity through women’s gender practices on Thieng Lieng island, Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Rather than treating identity as a pre-existing concept, the article conceptualizes identity as a dynamic process shaped by a series of practices related to labor, gender roles and interactions within the community-based tourism context. Through activities that serve both as a means of livelihood and a form of communication, local women emerge as active agents in the creation of identity in their daily lives. This study contributes to understanding the role of gender practices in shaping destination identity and their impact on community-based tourism development.
