Entrepreneurship and tourism are linked as relevant aspects of study due to their influence on the society’s development. In attempt to identify the main theoretical contributions in the 21st century, a bibliometric study was carried out, based on publications of tourism entrepreneurship in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. As a result, data from 268 documents were obtained and processed in VosViewer. The main findings place Haber, Altinay, and Hallak as the most cited authors; when analyzing co-authorship, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling by authors, the distribution changes in relation to the contribution. England, Australia, and United States are the main countries that originate publications on the subject and have an impact on their dissemination; and Tourism Management is the Journal with the highest number of citations. The topics were grouped into three clusters: (1) Sustainable Rural Tourism, (2) Small business and lifestyle, and (3) Social entrepreneurship, with a predominantly human and social focus over the economic vision. This study can be the basis for further studies about adjacent, related, or emerging topics to entrepreneurship in tourism, as well as to generate practical proposals for new or potential entrepreneurs.

Las empresas familiares son de gran importancia pues han sido generadoras de nuevos empleos a través de los años, permitiéndoles ser objeto de estudio en diversas investigaciones; a pesar de ello, no se ha enfatizado en estudios de caso donde resalten al mismo tiempo el liderazgo y el proceso decisivo en este tipo de organizaciones, conocido como la sucesión. Por lo anterior, se generó la inquietud de estudiar a una empresa que haya pasado por dicho proceso, en donde la principal finalidad es mostrar la capacidad que tiene para resolver problemas, retos y cómo sobrellevar la sucesión, además de conocer si el liderazgo es un factor clave en ello, profundizándolo en mayor medida en un estudio de caso, con guías de entrevista semiestructuradas. Después de analizar e interpretar lo que los informantes mencionan, se obtuvo como resultado que el liderazgo fue pieza fundamental en dicho proceso, con un liderazgo autocrático que fue ejercido por la fundadora de la empresa. En la actualidad, el nuevo dueño ha utilizado diversos tipos de liderazgos cambiantes dependiendo de la situación, llamado situacional. Se recomienda continuar con ese estilo de liderazgo que lo caracteriza y seguir teniendo éxito como una empresa familiar reconocida.

Corporate governance is a topic that in recent years has been related to fraud and economic crises, which could be reasons for pessimism; however, this study views it as an opportunity to improve the organizational environment. Therefore, this exploratory study is conducted with the purpose of identifying the context in which corporate governance occurs and potential international trends. The review of the literature indicates that corporate governance codes based on the model of insider information are gradually being replaced by American and British models, which are characterized by democracy, transparency, and accountability. Similarly, there is emphasis on the importance of bringing organizations and interest groups closer together and building consensus to develop activities that are in the common interest and that provide benefits to all. Finally, further studies are recommended to improve national and international standards concerning corporate governance with the aim of balancing the interests of organizations and their stakeholders.
