What is Tourism Entrepreneurship

In this study, the field of tourism entrepreneurship was approached from the perspectives of COVID-19 and government responses. Government supports as policy responses are able to induce positive effects on entrepreneurship, so many countries have developed strategies for tourism initiatives in order to mitigate the adverse effects of the pandemic. Since the tourism sector and tourism entrepreneurship have been deeply affected by the virus, there have been numerous studies conducted on the subject. Accordingly, this study aims to understand the research focusing on the reflection of policy responses to COVID-19 for tourism entrepreneurs by reviewing and analyzing the literature. Based on available studies, emerging research topics were synthesized, and some prominent issues were presented and discussed. Although the research results have shown that the studies are primarily concerned with the effect of the crisis, studies that offer suggestions on policy responses are promising.
