Abstract: | This article examines differences btw. social and economic entrepreneurship and btw. a long- and short process duration comparing two cases: Hay-on-Wye as a "town of books", and Sola/Stavanger that is a cultural centre. In the both cases a single individual's entrepreneurial effort has been of great importance in the developing of destination image. It is found that Hay was succesful in developing the destination whereas Sola/Stavanger represents a lost opportunity. However, it should be noted that Hay had longer period of time to recognise the opportunity. |
