Abstract

The issues about gender in tourism are still debated among scholars. The women’s movement has had a positive impact on gender equality, as in many countries wives hold an equal position with their husbands when making decisions about family holidays. However, some Asian women are still subordinate and hold lower positions compared to Asian males. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to continue to investigate the familial status of Asian women by focusing on the roles of 21st-century Indonesian wives who hold jobs in the decision-making process of family holidays. The study finds that most of the housewives are family holiday planners; they also have very important roles as leisure policymakers. Most of the housewives in Indonesia are the primary caregivers and have household responsibilities. The study revealed that, as working mothers, the participants believe they have the right to participate in the decision-making process of family holidays. The Internet makes it possible for them to explore and select destinations and attractions from around the world as part of the decision-making process. Therefore, the study results indicate that working Indonesian wives, particularly in large urban areas, play an important role in the decision-making process of family vacations.
