“All human beings are inherently entrepreneurial, that is, entrepreneurial potential is in all of us, in the same sense that all humans are innately musical, linguistic and morally reflective.” (World Economic Forum)
Abstract: In the economic field, entrepreneurship is important because it brings a contribution to the economic and social development; it is also mentioned in certain scientific works within the field, thus constituting a generator of innovation and of the capacity of coping with competition. Entrepreneurship may represent the engine of an economy, by bringing along a particular dynamism in economy. The current entrepreneurial reason may be categorised as the most negative period of its history. Tourism represents a system of interests through which a person may occupy their free time, comprising various journeys to different far-away destinations. This industry was founded in order to meet the asset and service demands of tourists once they get to their destination, at certain standards of quality. The size and evolution of national tourism may be influenced by certain relations on the international tourist market, by the orientation of diverse tourist flows, and by a certain degree of worldwide competition.
Keywords: entrepreneurship; tourism; innovation; business; industry.
