Chapter 1: Female Entrepreneurship in Tourism

This book is focused mainly on trying to understand whether women are a real resource for the potential competitive advantages, direction, organization, and internal and external relationships of the company. It is currently widely felt that female entrepreneurial experience is characterized by a networking approach, where great importance is attributed to the relational dimension. It also emphasizes the tendency of entrepreneurs to integrate the professional-working dimension into private and family-based, and from this point of view, there are profound differences in the attitudes of entrepreneurs, more orientated to the separation between the various spheres of their own life. However, in women's entrepreneurship studies, the analysis focused on the network women entrepreneurs create, their composition, the identity and characteristics of the subjects involved the role of the latter in relation to the management of the company, and their ability to influence their performance (Baggio & Valeri, 2020; Valeri, 2016; Valeri & Baggio, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c; Valeri & Baggio, 2021).
