Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between gender and new information technologies in rural tourism. The study provides new knowledge about such a relationship for the hitherto little-studied rural tourism environment. Data are analysed from a representative sample of rural tourism establishments in Galicia (Spain), and the findings suggest that there is no significant gender-specific difference in use of new information technologies. Therefore the paper supports the absence of the so-called technological gender gap in the rural tourism environment.
