Entrepreneurship for Rural Tourism Growth

The Entrepreneurship for Rural Tourism Growth series brings together interdisciplinary research and practical insights to show how innovative entrepreneurial approaches can stimulate rural economies while preserving cultural heritage and environmental resources.

Bridging theory and practice, the series covers a wide range of themes, including community-based tourism, agritourism, social entrepreneurship, and sustainable practices such as waste management and gastronomy tourism.
