Social Entrepreneurship and Tourism

Аннотация

Social entrepreneurship is one of the fastest growing social movements of our time. Growing global awareness that ‘business as usual’capitalism and individual self-interest are leading us towards potentially catastrophic environmental and social consequences has set the stage for social entrepreneurship to catalyse into a movement. But other factors are also at play. It has become patently clear that environmental issues cannot be addressed without making progress on pressing social issues such as poverty, gender equity, empowerment and inclusion. The millennial generation has also driven a shift in values away from the growth, profit and greed of late twentieth-century capitalism and towards a concern for well-being and social progress. A moral, caring turn is taking hold.
