Abstract
This international literature review of the tourism–water nexus identifies a
gender gap. Tourism development can affect water supply both quantitatively
and qualitatively. Many regions will face considerable problems of water availability and quality, affecting their tourism sector and increasing competition
with local residents, and other industries especially agriculture. This international review of literature explores the tourism–water nexus, comparing and
contrasting literature published in English, Chinese, and Spanish. Securing
access to safe water for continued tourism development is a common theme
and the vast majority of work has focused on hotels including water pricing,
water-saving practices and innovative management methods. In all continents,
struggles are apparent, and the unsustainability of tourism is having impacts
on water quantity and quality. This article identifies significant gaps in the literature including climate change, the energy-water nexus, and the links with
the Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, studies from a gendered
perspective are minimal and the potential for areas of further gendered studies
within the tourism–water nexus are highlighted including intersectionality,
water insecurity and sanitation, tourism and gender based violence, and additional unpaid care work.
