Abstract

While tourism social entrepreneurship (TSE) has been gaining the interest of tourism scholars, little is known about the extent of knowledge on TSE and how understanding this phenomenon may be advanced. To address these gaps, we conducted a framework-based scoping review of academic publications (N = 190) on this topic published from 2006 to 2023. We operationalised Gartner's (1985) framework for new venture creation comprising four dimensions namely individuals, organisations, environment, and processes, which we have extended to include a fifth dimension on impacts to further reflect the societal value of TSE. We found that knowledge of TSE is centred on processes, indicating a strong focus on the supply side of this tourism development approach and signalling critical knowledge gaps especially on individuals and impacts of TSE. We propose a conceptual model that shows the complexity and multidimensionality of TSE. Finally, we contribute a research agenda to advance knowledge of TSE.

旅游业中的社会企业家精神：基于框架的范围审查和研究议程

旅游业社会企业家精神（tourism social entrepreneurship， TSE）一直受到旅游学者的关注，但人们对旅游业社会企业家精神的认识程度以及如何加深对这一现象的理解却知之甚少。为了解决这些差距，我们对2006年至2023年发表的关于该主题的学术出版物（N = 190）进行了基于框架的范围审查。我们将Gartner（1985）的新企业创建框架付诸实践，该框架由四个维度组成，即个人、组织、环境和流程，我们将其扩展到第五个维度，即影响，以进一步反映TSE的社会价值。我们发现，TSE的知识集中在过程上，表明了对这种旅游发展方法的供应方的强烈关注，并表明了关键的知识差距，特别是在个人和TSE的影响方面。我们提出了一个概念模型来显示TSE的复杂性和多维性。最后，我们提出了一个研究议程，以促进对TSE的认识。

期刊介绍： Tourism Management Perspectives is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the planning and management of travel and tourism. It covers topics such as tourist experiences, their consequences for communities, economies, and environments, the creation of image, the shaping of tourist experiences and perceptions, and the management of tourist organizations and destinations. The journal's editorial board consists of experienced international professionals and it shares the board with Tourism Management. The journal covers socio-cultural, technological, planning, and policy aspects of international, national, and regional tourism, as well as specific management studies. It encourages papers that introduce new research methods and critique existing ones in the context of tourism research. The journal publishes empirical research articles and high-quality review articles on important topics and emerging themes that enhance the theoretical and conceptual understanding of key areas within travel and tourism management.
