Abstract : This study investigates the impact of tourism on women's empowerment in Himachal Pradesh, with a specific focus on the Kangra district. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, the study employs field observations and case studies to explore how tourism initiatives empower women through economic opportunities and enhanced social participation. Thirty women from the Kangra district were interviewed using a multiple case study design, supplemented by snowball sampling to ensure diverse perspectives. The findings underscore tourism's potential to foster economic independence, skill development, and community engagement among women, thus contributing to broader goals of gender equality and sustainable development in the region.
