Purpose

This study aims to systematize the drivers of nascent entrepreneurship in tourism and to suggest avenues for future research. As a consequence of the pandemic, a reduction in early-stage entrepreneurial activity was reported worldwide. The countries that responded best to this situation were those that fostered entrepreneurship at this early stage, designated as nascent. Hence, research on nascent entrepreneurs requires particular attention.

Design/methodology/approach

To address this study’s goal, the authors have examined the development of nascent entrepreneur literature in the last two decades and discussed how the literature on tourism nascent entrepreneurship relates to the mainstream literature in terms of theoretical frameworks. The authors explored specificities of the tourism industry to propose new research avenues to explore the theme of new venture creation in the hospitality and tourism sector.

Findings

The authors divided the implication of tourism specificities into main themes: motivations, human and social capital and government and incubators. Several research questions for future research are proposed.

Practical implications

By focusing on nascent entrepreneurship, researchers and policymakers can obtain important insights from projects that have not been implemented, going beyond those that have been successfully undertaken, as aimed at in entrepreneurship research.

Originality/value

This research contributes to the nascent tourism entrepreneurship literature by providing theoretical and empirical research questions to advance existing knowledge in tourism nascent entrepreneurship.

本研究旨在系统化旅游业新兴创业的驱动因素，并为未来的研究提出建议。由于大流行，全球范围内的早期创业活动有所减少。对这种情况反应最好的国家是那些在这个早期阶段培养创业精神的国家，被称为新生。因此，对新兴企业家的研究需要特别关注。

设计/方法/途径

为了实现本研究的目标，作者研究了过去二十年新兴企业家文献的发展，并讨论了关于旅游新兴企业家精神的文献如何在理论框架方面与主流文献相关联。作者探索了旅游业的特殊性，提出了新的研究途径，以探索酒店和旅游业中新创企业的主题。

发现

作者将旅游特性的含义分为几个主要主题：动机、人力和社会资本以及政府和孵化器。提出了未来研究的几个研究问题。

实际影响

通过关注新生创业，研究人员和政策制定者可以从尚未实施的项目中获得重要见解，超越那些已成功开展的项目，作为创业研究的目标。

原创性/价值

本研究通过提供理论和实证研究问题来推进旅游业新兴创业的现有知识，从而为新兴旅游创业文献做出贡献。
