Tourism social entrepreneurship and roles in activating SDGs

Abstract

Sustainable development along with social entrepreneurship is providing a new approach to the tour- ism industry. Tourism social entrepreneurship is all about how to take beneficial steps that reduce the negative effects in the tourism industry. It is the responsibility of the entrepreneurs to actively play their role in maintaining sustainability and taking advanced, innovative, and bold steps. It depends upon them how they fulfill the current needs without sacrificing future needs, as this is a key concept of sustainable development goals. Corporate socially responsible firms are sustainable firms. Those industries which are not applying these strategies are now suffering because there is a limited understanding of the fusion of SDGs and tourism social entrepreneurship. How do they apply the SDGs strategies as a part of their strategic planning industry? This chapter contributes to the emerging role of tourism social entrepreneurs and also tells how they achieve sustainability with a combination of 17 strategies and fusions of SDGs. © 2023, IGI Global.
