Abstract

This research note represents some overall structural indicators of the
gender inequality evidenced in the female employment in general and
more specifically in the field of tourism. In the context of the world gender
division of labour, the example is provided with reference to Croatian
national statistics and further demonstrated with a case study of one of
the largest and best performing hotel companies - Liburnia Riviera Hotels
(with the head office in Opatija, one of the most well-known tourist
destinations in Croatia). The objective is to assess the socio-economic
position of women in terms of the nature of their employment in tourism,
which represents the major economic sector of Croatia.
