Abstract

This chapter sets the conceptual foundation for the book. It provides a background on the development of thought around social innovation, as well as eco-tourism. After introducing various definitions and concepts of social innovation and social entrepreneurship, it then goes on to develop a definition of eco-tourism social entrepreneurship. An analysis of the current state of the environment and tourism leads to the discussion of how eco-tourism and social entrepreneurship can transform the industry for the better. The chapter then describes how social entrepreneurship can effectively make changes to the economic and social systems that are no longer working in the world and tourism. The status of eco-tourism social entrepreneurship in industry, academia and education are then discussed. The final section of the chapter lays out the book's contents.
