“…The framework has four key components: (1) the role of three sectors (government, business, and civil society including philanthropy) and inter-sectoral cooperation, framed in the local historic, cultural, relational, and power contexts; (2) the significance of 'institutional entrepreneur' such as (but not restricted to) 'entrepreneurial philanthropy' to scale the social innovation initiative and to involve local stakeholders, and (3) engagement of local stakeholders to the initiative; and (4) the impact and change caused to the local community (Figure 1) [8,25]. There is already a considerable body of literature on BASN and Art Setouchi/Setouchi Triennale, including documentation written by key persons involved in the processes, which mostly focuses on the contribution of local governments (Naoshima town and Kagawa prefecture) and private business (Benesse Holdings) to develop the initiatives [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Recently art is increasing its presence as an “creative industry” to sustain local communities, by generating socio-economic values. Still, whether art can be a tool for social innovation to regenerate communities, especially in rural areas in aging societies, is an unanswered question. In this paper, we take the example of Benesse Art Site Naoshima and Art Setouchi in the island area of Western Japan, viewing how it transformed from a corporate-established museum to a regional initiative involving various stakeholders, including local residents and thus creating the process of dialogues and collaboration. By reconstructing the existing evidence with supplementary fieldwork and interviews and applying a tri-sectoral analysis of the processes, we present how the art sites developed to become a social innovation. We then illustrate the role of two key individuals, Soichiro Fukutake and Fram Kitagawa, and shed light on the different values and methodologies they brought into these art sites. We argue that such contributions from the civil society and philanthropy sector made a critical contribution to characterize BASN and Art Setouchi, in addition to the well-documented and recognized efforts from local government and business sectors. Finally, we propose that such values, methodologies, and persons who can embody and implement such values are crucial if other countries and areas are to replicate the model.

“…4.1.4 Miscellaneous. Other enablers of RHT entrepreneurship include local support (Ateljevic, 2009;Qu et al, 2020), the social capital of the entrepreneur (Khazami et al, 2020;Ngoasong and Kimbu, 2016), family support (Ainley, 2014;, inheritance (Barbieri, 2013), effective networking (Lovelock et al, 2010;Schmitz and Lekane Tsobgou, 2016;Shen et al, 2019;Truong, 2020), built capital or shared infrastructure (Kline et al, 2019), strong visionary leader entrepreneurs (Moscardo, 2014), entrepreneurial and spatial bricolage (Yachin and Ioannides, 2020), an education level (Haugen and Jostein, 2008), business flexibility (Li et al, 2018), farm resource slack (Kristensen et al, 2019;McGehee and Kim, 2004) and technologies such as the internet (Andreopoulou et al, 2017;van der Merwe et al, 2013). Furthermore, the egonetworks of entrepreneurs and resource providers can also act as enablers or barriers (Yachin, 2020).…”

“…4.5.1 Role of networks and ecosystems in innovation. Some studies have argued that the value of RHT for tourists lies in creating an ecosystem of services or events that provide a variety of experiences (Marques and Cunha, 2013;Qu et al, 2020). RHT entrepreneurs see beyond their individual gains to envision the development of the local rural area as an important motivator of value creation (Mottiar, 2016).…”

“…RHT entrepreneurs see beyond their individual gains to envision the development of the local rural area as an important motivator of value creation (Mottiar, 2016). As such, networks play a major role (Komppula, 2014;Schmidt et al, 2016;Hsu et al, 2013) as this new value creation may come from the constant interaction between actors in a variety of networks, including entrepreneur-entrepreneur (Che et al, 2005;Komppula, 2014;Schmidt et al, 2016;Qu et al, 2020), entrepreneur-tourist (Hsu et al, 2013;Liang, 2017;Yachin, 2019), entrepreneurresearch organizations (Visentin and Vallerani, 2018) and entrepreneur-policymaker networks (Marcouiller and Westeren, 2019). In a new line of research, Schmitz and Lekane Tsobgou (2016) adopted an action research method approach and showed how research on value creation could be a co-evolving process wherein the researcher and the entrepreneurs develop new products ideas together.…”

Purpose Entrepreneurship in the rural hospitality and tourism sector (RHT) has received wide attention in the past decade. However, a systematic review on this topic is currently lacking. This study aims to track the progress of the RHT and entrepreneurship literature by examining the various thematic research areas, identifying the research gaps and forecasting avenues of future research on the topic. Design/methodology/approach This paper catalogs and synthesizes the body of literature from the year 2000–2020 using a systematic literature review methodology. After discussing a brief history of RHT and entrepreneurship, the current study presents a review of 101 research articles. Findings The review highlights that RHT and entrepreneurship have received relatively limited attention from entrepreneurship journals. The content analysis revealed different gaps and limitations in the understanding of entrepreneurship in RHT, including a predominance of qualitative studies with limited theoretically-grounded and generalizable empirical studies. Furthermore, a high concentration of studies is from European countries. Six main thematic research areas were identified, namely, barriers and enablers, the roles of an entrepreneur, women in RHT, influencers of firm performance, innovation and value creation and methodological commonalities. The review also advances an RHT entrepreneurship ecosystem framework to summarize the findings. Originality/value Six promising research avenues are outlined based on the six themes identified. The suggested research questions draw from allied literature on small and medium businesses, innovation, women entrepreneurship and institutions to encourage the interdisciplinary cross-pollination of ideas. The findings are summarized in a novel research framework.

“…In this kind of tourism, most usual types of booking are directly through the Internet, or via telephone or fax with no dominant role of large tour operators [34]. For rural tourism sustainability, it should managed by regional and local small enterprises [35][36][37]. In addition, social media has an important role in this industry as a marketing tool on tourists' decision-making and experience and also rural residents' tourism participation [38,39].…”
