Gender inequality is discussed worldwide and is a common topic on the global agenda. Women are facing disadvantages and are treated unequally compared to their counterparts in all countries, even in some of the world’s most gender equal countries where Sweden has for a long time been at the top. However, there are still visual barriers for women to make career advancements, and that the terms and conditions are not equivalent with men’s. This research investigates career thresholds for women within Swedish tourism industries and consists of four case studies. To investigate this, the authors conducted interviews with 12 women in leading positions within the tourism industries, which have been divided into four sectors; the hospitality sector, transportation sector, food, and beverage sector, along with the event and leisure sector. To be able to define what thresholds there are for women within the Swedish tourism industries, the researchers have tested the theories of gender, glass ceiling, and homosocial reproduction. The findings of this research elaborates the resemblance and difference within but also between the four tourism sectors to gain a broader understanding of what career thresholds women face in their career due to their gender. The researchers identified four main thresholds for women within the Swedish tourism industries: (1) old norms and cultures, (2) the perception of women at work, (3) family, and (4) homosocial reproduction. Considering Sweden as one of the most equal countries, other research within this specific area has not been found and therefore this study is of great importance. This research can also be useful for future research due to its applicability.
