Women's football and tourism as a tool for equality, economic and social improvement and eradicating discrimination

Abstract

Tourism is identified as a strategic sector for economic and social development. The novelty of this work lies in its treatment from the point of view of law and its design not as an end, but as an instrument to eradicate any area of discrimination and in the advancement and achievement of equality.

Non-discrimination and equality of women as a human right is enshrined in international and national texts. Based on this formal legality, many equality policies and positive actions have been developed by public authorities with the aim of guaranteeing effective and real equality, and tourism is designed as an instrument in itself to achieve effective equality between women and men in football.

The development of tourist packages associated with women's football sporting events is capable of interacting in geometric progression in many aspects, such as the economic progress of clubs that will see their income improve due to greater stadium occupancy, an increase in tourists and overnight stays with an economic impact on other businesses (hotels, leisure, restaurants, shops in general, etc...), visibility of women's football, the conquest of rights and values in favour of a sport that is reaching higher and higher levels of popularity every day. All this using the multidisciplinary concept and aspect of "tourism".
