Abstract:This paper reviews literature on female employees in oversea tourist industry gathered through on-line search under such keywords as "tourism and gender" , "gender and hotel", "female in tourism", "female and hotel", "gender and hospitality", and so on. 30 articles and books were found related to this theme. These writings mainly focus on three areas: female employees in rural tourism, in overseas tourism, and in tourist businesses. This paper evaluates these writings in light of the three areas based on their research perspectives, research contents, and methodology. It suggests that oversea research in English on female employees in tourist industry is rich in its contents and diversified viewpoints but lack of a framework, an in-depth analysis, and multiplicity of methodology.
