Tourism Entrepreneurship and its Role in the Activity of SMEs in Romania
Abstract
Entrepreneurship associated with small businesses is
regarded as a key vehicle for the creation of new
enterprises, as it generates job growth and stimulates
competition. In hotel, tourism and leisure industry, even
if they still are a huge number of multi-corporations and
multinational chains, industry is dominated by a
substantial number of small businesses.
