Tourism and Entrepreneurship: International Perspectives
provides an innovative, interdisciplinary approach. This book
takes, as its central theme, the role of entrepreneurship in the
context of regional, local and national tourism development. By
engaging with top academics in both tourism and entrepreneurship,
this book delivers a cohesive, interdisciplinary examination of the
most recent developments in both tourism and entrepreneurship.
Several key themes are explored and articulated through the
following concepts and issues: tourism, innovation and
entrepreneurship; the role and nature of individual and collective
entrepreneurship in different contexts; the role of tourism in
responding to development opportunities created by global forces
and, finally, issues associated with tourism strategies and
policies. Divided into four parts, the book reflects on the most
relevant areas of tourism entrepreneurship:
- understanding the conceptual basis of tourism
entrepreneurship
- creative use of entrepreneurship and processes of social
innovation
- tourism entrepreneurship mediating the global-local divide
- sectoral strategies and policy issues of tourism
entrepreneurship.
