Abstract

This study investigates how women's engagement in and perceptions of the advantages of waste management in rural tourist Himalayan villages in Darjeeling have changed as a result of the expansion of rural tourism. Regression analysis and positive correlation show that rural tourism substantially increases women's participation in community activities. While the growth of the tourism industry has a good impact on women's empowerment and cultural preservation, it is insufficient to propel environmental and sustainable development on its own, calling for integrated strategies. While descriptive statistics show that rural tourism and women's engagement are positively perceived, they also draw attention to the shortcomings of sustainable and environmental activities. The ANOVA results attest to the critical role that women play in advancing sustainable waste management techniques. The study's conclusions are consistent with previous research in that they highlight the value of encouraging rural tourism and women's empowerment for the advancement of sustainable community development.
