Previous hospitality and tourism entrepreneurship research has emphasized the economic and financial outcomes of entrepreneurship whilst paying less attention to social outcomes. Specifically, minimal academic attention, both in mainstream entrepreneurship research and hospitality and tourism scholarship, has been paid to entrepreneurship as a means to facilitate the integration of refugees and enhance their well-being. To address this gap, this study aims to showcase how entrepreneurial activities in the hospitality and tourism industry contribute to the integration and subjective well-being of entrepreneurs. Drawing on data collected through 38 semi-structured interviews with Syrian refugee entrepreneurs in Turkey and the UK, the findings reveal that several factors influence the contribution of entrepreneurial activities to the integration of entrepreneurs and their families within the host society. Entrepreneurial activities also appear to have positive spillover effects on subjective well-being. This paper offers new insights into the social outcomes of hospitality and tourism entrepreneurship by conceptualizing and empirically supporting the relationship between hospitality entrepreneurship, integration and well-being.

以前的酒店和旅游创业研究强调创业的经济和金融成果，而较少关注社会成果。具体而言，在主流创业研究以及酒店和旅游奖学金方面，学术界对创业的关注很少，作为促进难民融入社会和提高他们福祉的一种手段。为了弥补这一差距，本研究旨在展示酒店和旅游业的创业活动如何促进企业家的整合和主观幸福感。利用通过对土耳其和英国的叙利亚难民企业家进行的 38 次半结构化访谈收集的数据，调查结果表明，有几个因素影响创业活动对企业家及其家庭融入东道国社会的贡献。创业活动似乎也对主观幸福感产生积极的溢出效应。本文通过对酒店创业、整合和福祉之间的关系进行概念化和实证支持，为酒店和旅游创业的社会成果提供了新的见解。
