Abstract
The primary aim of this chapter is to review the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems as it relates to the tourism sector. The authors do this in order to develop an understanding of the needs of the human resource management needs of tourism entrepreneurs. The experience of tourism entrepreneurs is documented in the academic literature. Jaafar and Rasoolimanesh report that the tourism industry is an important catalyst for regional economic activity. Therefore, the importance of this sector has caught the attention of policy makers and academics. However, research has identified that the area lacks the presence of effective and evidence-based theory. In this chapter, the authors review the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems as it relates to the tourism industry. They provide recommendations for customizing entrepreneurial supports and ecosystems to maximize the success of human resource management and human capital development amongst tourism entrepreneurs.
