A three-sector comparison of the business performance of small tourism enterprises: An exploratory study
2005, Tourism ManagementCitation Excerpt :This is congruent with some findings from studies that examined the entry motivation of entrepreneurship among small tourism ventures owners. For example, Lynch (1998) and Tse and Ellwood (1990) found that a primary motivation for hosting relates to a keen interest in the guest and the satisfaction gained by the owner/manager from the service experience. In fact, in small rural tourism accommodation sites the relationship between the service provider, often the owner/manager, and the guest are probably the most intensive when compared to sites of interest and active recreation sites.
