“…Likewise, in family trips, the continuation of caretaking responsibilities restricts females’ experiences of liminal encounters during tourism, unlike male companions who continued to experience greater freedom and independence in tourism spaces. Therefore, the current study concurred with previous research (Backer & Schänzel, 2013) that the gendered carer role seemed to be a recurring theme in females’ lives, but for female Muslims was primarily influenced by traditional cultural practices. In addition, this research implies that while females enabled tourism activities of males in the family, the same was lacking from males towards them.…”

These findings further reinforce ways in which tensions emerge in family vacations, particularly for mothers (Backer and Schänzel, 2013). Extending this research, the current study demonstrates how children embody stresses in the midst of vacationing as well.…”

“…The study further underlines the potential for conflict and stress due to the inadequacies of facilities (Backer and Schänzel, 2013) or shared bedrooms (Obrador, 2012) in holiday accommodations which are similar to issues arising in emergency accommodation (Halpenny et al, 2002).
