| Abstract: | Particularly in peripheral regions of the United Kingdom (U.K), tourism is seen as an increasingly important component of rural economic potential. This paper explores the role of in-migrant owners of small tourism firms (STFs) in promoting entrepreneurship and developing competition in the tourism economy of Northumberland. It is hypothesized that through a combination of extra-local networks and local embeddedness, these business owners are not only succeeding for themselves but they are stimulating other local businesses ... among all STFs. |
