Resumen
This chapter analyses women's tourism collective agency and its relationship with other forms of agency in a tourism-dependent rural community in Uganda. Findings show positive gains for women in terms of economic independence, livelihood diversification, reduced drudgery, and acquisition of skills that have further enhanced their capabilities and wellbeing. This has in turn enabled positive outcomes at the household and community levels. The authors argue that the outcomes of collective agency have contributed to other forms of agency (instrumental and intrinsic) while opening space for women's empowerment and social change. The chapter contributes to current debates on tourism, women's empowerment, and social change and informs policy and programming geared at enabling women's collective capacity and equitable tourism outcomes.
