Description of the research topic:

The great number of social entrepreneurship studies highlighted that social entrepreneurs in tourism make significant distinct contributions to communities and society by adopting a dual mission to offer creative solutions to local community problems and promote the development of sustainable tourism. The focus of the research questions for this topic is as follows:

2) What are the configuration factors of tourism social entrepreneurship (TSE) organizations that lead to high destination performance?
3) Measure and validate sustainable tourism attitude scale (SUS-TAS) towards tourism social enterprise for sustainable tourism development.
4) Explore the potentiality of tourism SE in the cross-cultural settings.
5) How can TSE maintain a sustainable, engaged, skilled and experienced workforce in order to deliver quality tourism experiences.
Expected results:
• The identification of the role of the social entrepreneurship in promoting/creating sustainable tourism destination.
• Understanding the relationship between local communities and tourism social entrepreneurship.
