摘要：In this paper, authors emphasizes on the importance of tourism industry in generating female employment. Tourism work is particularly attractive to women and help variety of them (young, single, mothers, divorced or older one) in creating decent employment. The research results of women's employment in tourist industry in EU-27 show that its share in tourist accommodation sector in 2007 was at 60%. The research case study examination in employment practises affecting women's work in hospitality industry in selected countries show that the differences in employment practises and attitudes affecting women's work in the hospitality industry are deeply influenced by the legislative approaches and cultural differences in each country. Tourism employment gives women ability to balance work and family life. The authors conclude that women in tourist industry have only limited access to middle and high-level managerial position in Italy, UK (special case - Greenwich), and Zadarska County, but this is not the case in Bulgaria.
