Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a very important field for research, due to its contribution to development and growth. Moreover, investigating particular features of entrepreneurs in different sectors would be an important point to further policies to fostering entrepreneurship. This paper investigates the specific traits of entrepreneurship in tourism, particularly questioning of the evidence of a different type of entrepreneur in tourism. As literature proposes the model of a "lifestyle entrepreneur" in tourism, we focus on testing this hypothesis by using the data available in EUROSTAT database on "Enterprises managed by the founder". Based on evaluating empirical data that would support this idea, we find the conclusion that there is not enough evidence to support the idea of a more family-motivated and not only profit-oriented entrepreneur in tourism.
