Small businesses are the backbone of the tourism and hospitality industry. However, entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process have long been marginal topics within tourism scholarship.  This is a critical, yet accessible, introduction to the subject. Structured into twelve chapters, this book takes an intuitive step-by-step progression through entrepreneurship in tourism: context, theoretical perspectives and definitions; the entrepreneurial process from concept to reality to growth, policy context and future directions.  Featuring learning outcomes, ‘reflective practice’ activities and a range of international case studies that encourage critical thinking and practical applications, this is essential reading for anyone studying tourism degree programmes at undergraduate and graduate level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49518130037009,"sku":"GOR012596062","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138048771.jpg?v=1751080909"},{"product_id":"entrepreneurship-in-tourism-book-andreas-walmsley-9781032745626","title":"Entrepreneurship in Tourism","description":"This timely and innovative book is a theoretically-underpinned yet accessible introduction to entrepreneurship in tourism.  The volume takes an intuitive step-by-step approach through entrepreneurship in tourism: it begins with a review of key concepts in entrepreneurship and applies these to tourism; it then tackles the practical elements of the entrepreneurial process in tourism as well as firm growth with a specific focus on entrepreneurial marketing. The final sections of the book take a more macro perspective at reviewing the place of entrepreneurship in society and how context shapes entrepreneurship in tourism.  This 2nd edition has been fully updated to include:  • A wider restructure of the original text including the addition of chapters on the context of tourism, the addition of sustainable tourism entrepreneurship in a chapter on social and sustainable tourism entrepreneurship, alongside a chapter on the role of tourism in offering a pathway to empowerment.  • New content covering key developments in entrepreneurship, including important topics that are only beginning to find their way into the tourism literature. This includes themes such as: business models and business model innovation, crowdfunding in tourism, the role of AI and digitalisation in tourism marketing, sustainable tourism entrepreneurship, tourism entrepreneurial ecosystems, and the role of tourism entrepreneurship in supporting empowerment and poverty alleviation. These novel themes co-exist alongside material from the first edition that remains under-researched such as how tourism firms may maintain an entrepreneurial orientation and innovations in tourism employment.  • Updated global case studies and examples from industry and academia throughout.  Each chapter offers an abstract, learning outcomes and a series of questions to stimulate critical engagement with the material covered. As such, the text offers an invaluable resource to tutors and their students on both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in tourism, as well as tourism scholars engaging with the dynamic phenomenon of entrepreneurship in tourism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51202158690577,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51202159509777,"sku":"NGR9781032745626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52692948877585,"sku":"NLS9781032745626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53082790658321,"sku":"NIN9781032745626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032745622.jpg?v=1750887236"},{"product_id":"entrepreneurship-in-tourism-book-andreas-walmsley-9781032745640","title":"Entrepreneurship in Tourism","description":"This timely and innovative book is a theoretically underpinned yet accessible introduction to entrepreneurship in tourism.

Its importance to economic prosperity, human development, and safety and security ensures that it will remain a top priority for the foreseeable future.  This book highlights the importance of ensuring that we remain focused on the successes of migration as well as the challenges. At the end of the 20th century, more importance was given to immigrant and ethnic minority entrepreneurship due to its positive impact on local economic growth and overall economic development in the hosting nations. In the 21st century, the imperative of the United Nations 2030 agenda involves a deeper understanding of the complex challenges for the achievement of sustainable goals. One of these challenges is to understand how migrant-entrepreneurs may or may not identify with their ethnic community, therefore dissociating themselves from their ethnic group. In this sense, religion and ethnicity are differentiating factors between social groups, and the relationships allow preserving their culture and establishing relationships and integration in the community at all levels. This edited volume brings together impactful contributions that will interest multidisciplinary academic areas and aims to contribute to the enhancement of scientific knowledge on the intersection of entrepreneurship, migration, ethnicity, and religion, a gap in the existing literature that has the potential to provide a deeper understanding of factors that influence migrant populations’ contribution to socio-economic development in their communities.  This book will be an invaluable resource to researchers and scholars in the fields of immigration, immigrant entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial culture, and economic development.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51629196640529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51629197132049,"sku":"NGR9781032785158","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52691575111953,"sku":"NLS9781032785158","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032785152.jpg?v=1751080184"},{"product_id":"tourism-employment-in-nordic-countries-book-andreas-walmsley-9783030478155","title":"Tourism Employment in Nordic Countries","description":"Viewed through a politico-economic lens, Nordic countries share what is often referred to as the 'Nordic model', characterised by a comprehensive welfare state; higher spending on childcare; more equitable income distribution; and lifelong-learning policies.

This important new book gives the first comprehensive overview of key concepts, theories and knowledge relating to youth employment in the Tourism sector.   Specifically 'Youth Employment in Tourism and Hospitality' discusses rates of youth employment in tourism and hospitality, working conditions for youth and the role of youth employment in tourism in developing countries. It explores barriers to youth employment, from both supply and demand-side perspectives. It reviews the relationship between education, training and youth employment before looking at the education to work transition through the lenses of career decision-making and career development theories. It also discusses the role of tourism internships in early work socialisation, as well as graduate entrepreneurship in tourism.   It is essential reading for those delivering and developing tourism programmes, and for students of tourism and hospitality. It also appeals to policy-makers and managers in the wide range of sectors that constitute tourism and hospitality and beyond as well as those in related fields such as education, human resources management and career guidance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52663844241681,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52663845749009,"sku":"NLS9781910158371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781910158371.jpg?v=1762273063"},{"product_id":"tourism-employment-in-nordic-countries-book-andreas-walmsley-9783030478124","title":"Tourism Employment in Nordic Countries","description":"Viewed through a politico-economic lens, Nordic countries share what is often referred to as the 'Nordic model', characterised by a comprehensive welfare state; higher spending on childcare; more equitable income distribution; and lifelong-learning policies.
