Women Street Vendors & Tourism

: Negotiating Lives and Spaces

Publications
This study explores the issues of women street vendors at 4 tourism sites - Bodhgaya (Bihar), Bhubaneswar, Puri (Odisha) and Goa in context of tourism. It documents the issues of street vending like realities and challenges faced by women street vendors, perspectives of stakeholders and the policy and regulations. It highlights the gaps in National Urban Street Vendor Policy 2004 & 2009 and the Model Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Bill 2009. A consultation on Street Vendors & Tourism: Right to Livelihood and Space was organised to share experiences from the field and bring tourism into ongoing debates. The report of the consultation is also included in this publication.

EQUATIONS is a research, policy, and advocacy organisation working on tourism and development issues in India. Our work has focused on the economic, environmental, social, cultural, political and administrative impacts of tourism particularly on people living in and around tourism destinations. We collaborate closely with organisations and peoples movements, to influence people-centered forms of tourism & policies that ensure significant local benefits and take into account the negative impacts of an unbridled growth of tourism.
