Este estudio analiza el empoderamiento de las mujeres en el turismo, comparando Cuba y México. Se recopilaron datos de 328 mujeres mediante un cuestionario con escala Likert de 5 puntos, para evaluar educación, desafíos culturales, innovación y liderazgo. Las pruebas no paramétricas (Mann-Whitney U) revelaron diferencias significativas (p < 0.05). Las mujeres cubanas mostraron mayores niveles de empoderamiento (rango promedio = 225.34) y educación (p < 0.001), mientras que las mexicanas enfrentaron mayores desafíos culturales (p = 0.039). Los hallazgos subrayan la importancia de abordar barreras culturales y promover la educación e innovación para fortalecer el empoderamiento femenino. El estudio contribuye a la comprensión de estos procesos en contextos culturales y políticos específicos, ya que ofrece recomendaciones prácticas para los responsables de políticas.
