Summary:Vujko et al discuss women's empowerment through self-employment in tourism, particularly in Serbia. One popular approach to women's empowerment has been the establishment of associations, sometimes called self-help groups, or SHGs. Members of these groups choose to pool their resources in order to radically change their lives and the lives of their families, and in order to have an impact on their communities; in this way, SHGs seek to empower women both economically and socially. When it comes to the Serbian business environment, it contains a series of unfavorable conditions for fie development of women's entrepreneurship, and would-be women entrepreneurs often perceive it as an unsupportive environment.
