- Description
- Social entrepreneurship is an evolving force in solving societal challenges, integrating financial viability with social effect. This study delves into the intersection of social entrepreneurship and tourism, exploring how Tourism Social Entrepreneurship fosters community engagement to boost empowerment within locations. Within the tourism sector, Tourism Social Entrepreneurship attempts to stimulate socioeconomic growth while focusing on the welfare of host communities. Despite its potential, a gap persists in knowing how Tourism Social Entrepreneurship efficiently includes and engages local people. This research aims to fill the void by investigating how social entrepreneurs within the tourist sector engage with and empower local communities. By analyzing current literature on social entrepreneurship and conceptualizing Tourism Social Entrepreneurship, this study provides a complete understanding of the dynamics of community engagement in tourism-driven social entrepreneurship endeavors. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
