“…During this process, the share of local community decreases while the touristic earnings of large-scale tourism enterprises grows (Iakovleva, Bay-Larsen, Kharitonova, & Didyk, 2012). The literature shows that the touristic income should be kept in the region by increasing the share of local tourism entrepreneurship.…”

The purpose of this study is to research the relationship between tourism development in the province of Burdur, satisfaction, support to tourism development and tourism entrepreneurship. The research model developed was based upon the theory of social change and was tested by using PLS-SEM. The data were obtained from 390 persons residing in the province of Burdur by using the survey method. The findings have revealed significant relationships between positive economic and sociocultural effect in tourism development and satisfaction by tourism development, support for tourism development and tourism entrepreneurship. No relationship between positive environmental effect, negative economic, sociocultural and environmental effect, and satisfaction by tourism development was confirmed. The results are coherent with the theory of social change in terms of indicating that the residents of Burdur perceive much the benefits in tourism development, but not yet the costs. Moreover, the findings of this study reveal the tourism entrepreneurship role of the residents, although the tourism development studies neglect the tourism entrepreneurship of the residents on a large scale.

“…Entrepreneurship is a purposeful activity to initiate, maintain, and develop a profit-oriented business (Veen and Wakkee, 2003).

Social networks are an important element of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs rely on social networks to access ideas, information, and resources to facilitate their entrepreneurial process. Strong and weak ties influence the entrepreneurial process in unique ways. This study utilized social network analysis approach to examine wildlife tourism microentrepreneurship through in-person structured interviews with 37 microentrepreneurs from North Carolina’s Pamlico Sound Region. Specifically, this study examined the extent of network ties, the type of support received from those network ties, and the process of creating and maintaining the business network ties. Weak ties were more prevalent than strong ties. Support was received in terms of marketing and advertising, information sharing, and product sponsorship. Weak ties were established through professional workshops and seminars or while working in the same territory, whereas reciprocity, togetherness, communication, and trust were identified as major factors to maintain weak ties. This study suggests that cognitive social capital factors (e.g. reciprocity, togetherness, and trust) can be highly important toward effective use of social networks, as well as to ensure entrepreneurial success.

“…Additional findings indicate that the regulation of protected areas, legislation, and government programmes play pivotal roles in the development of sustainable nature-based tourism in Russia and Norway. Furthermore, cognitive and normative aspects assume significance, particularly concerning the competencies and skills of entrepreneurs and authorities, educational initiatives, the formulation of business concepts, and nature conservation efforts (Iakovleva et al, 2012). According to Moraru, an individual's decision to initiate a business can stem from both opportunity-driven and necessitydriven factors.…”

Sustainable development and the related challenges are the focus of the 2030 Agenda within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Albania is also a country that is part of these ambitious programmes and has continuously received funds from international organisations to achieve these objectives. Considerable progress has been made, and there is still much work to be done. An important sector that has experienced immediate and incredibly significant development in the economy of the country in recent years is tourism in general and natural tourism in particular. The flourishing of natural tourism has been noticed all over the country, and as a developing sector, we have tried to identify the challenges faced by new entrepreneurs and draw some conclusions and recommendations in this article. The study was performed in the Elbasan region from February to June 2023. Through direct interviews, it was noted that their challenges are related to the macroenvironment, the microenvironment, and the internal environment.
