Abstract

New firm creation requires a rapid shift in skills to cope with the market growth. This study explores the skills related to success and failure in tourism entrepreneurship. It combines Delphi method and Q-sort technique. It identifies alertness, self-efficacy, experience, and networking as success factors. It also finds insufficient commitment, unviable idea, lack of control and information, and heuristics as failure factors. A pioneering approach to jack of all trades theory in tourism allows for the definition of a balanced skillset for nascent entrepreneurs.
