“…Therefore, if a destination wants to enhance its capacity for self-determination, it also needs to be aware of the negative aspects of SC (Portes, 2000). For example, when actors with influence, just out of fear of losing their power position, collectively oppose to changes in laws, methodologies or newcomers to participate, limiting heterogeneity in the group, which is a key element for innovation (Schmidt et al, 2016; Williams and Shaw, 2011). An even more negative form of SC also manifests when some actors take unfair advantage of their position and social connections in detriment of fellow participants (Levien, 2015).…”

A tourist destination, as a collective of actors trying to act together, faces the challenges of shaping a common future and self-determining its development path. This depends on its actors' capacity to act towards collective goals. Social capital (SC) theory explains how resources are mobilised for common purposes, representing a key notion for understanding collective action. Non-tourism-and tourism-related literature on SC were analysed, finding that SC theory is used mostly as a means to study other aspects in tourism. Little has been discussed about SC itself as the object of interest. This article, therefore (1) identifies the key dimensions and levels of scope of a tourist destination's SC, and (2) presents a structured assessment framework as the basis to reflect upon the improvement of the destination's capacity for self-determination. The article contributes to tourist destination's SC theory building and as the basis for further research on the subject.

“…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.

“…Kweon and Lee (2016) mentioned in the study on Daranginon in Gacheon village that while coastal scenery, accessibility, and kindness were their strengths, convenience facilities, visitation costs, meal and beverage prices, purchase of local specialties, hands-on education programs, and various feasts and events were less satisfying. Schmidt et al (2016) stated that collective action is essential for the development of sustainable rural tourism, in which individual or small businesses work together to improve their environments, form associations, syndicates and non-governmental organizations, and achieve common goals.…”

The intent-to-recommend and intent-to-publicize were 3.40 and 3.46, respectively. The intent-to-participate was 3.45, which was affected by the necessity of URE business and the support of central/local governments, and also showed a significant correlation with the satisfaction with settlement, intent-to-recommend, intent-to-publicize, tourism resources for green tourism or rural tourism, driving a car in Namhae county, and the service and price of meals.
