摘要
This study aims to accomplish three objectives: (a) to reveal the reasons why women academics prefer tourism academia; (b) to examine the experiences and perceptions of gender (in)equality of women academics; (c) to determine the cultural, social and family-based variables affecting the careers of women academics. The study is based on three steps by the application of triangulation method including interviews and focus groups. Study findings suggest that the academia is an attractive environment for women to escape from the industry despite the former brings several problems in taking steps for maintaining their career-based responsibilities.
