Abstract

There have been many contributors to our understanding of the rural tourism phenomenon. The geographers' view of tourism pays special attention to the inherent differences between urban and rural tourism settings. They draw valid attention to the impact that transport and access have on tourism, as well as the pressures of alternate and often competing uses of the land to determine carrying capacity and the wider concerns of sustainability (Hall and Page 2002). However, such a focus on the location of the tourism asset overlooks the human involvement in the production of rural tourism and recreation service. What are the characteristics and success correlates of rural entrepreneurs? This chapter uses data collected from a survey offered to all identifiable owners of hosted accommodation in Western Australia to explore this question. We find that gender is one area where significant differences do exist.
