Abstract: This article examines the multifaceted issue of violence against women and girls, with a particular focus on how it manifests within the global tourism industry. It explores the interplay between gender-based violence, systemic inequality, and the tourism economy, including cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, and labor discrimination. Drawing attention to case studies from Mexico and referencing international frameworks, the paper argues for coordinated public, private, and institutional efforts to address and eliminate such violence. Ultimately, it advocates for inclusive tourism policies that promote gender equity, safety, and sustainable development.
