| Sumario: | Purpose This paper aims to examine how institutional dimensions influence different stages of tourism entrepreneurship. Particularly, the study focuses on the impact of the regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive dimensions on nascent and active entrepreneurship while exploring the role of gender in these processes. Design/methodology/approach The research uses a multilevel logistic regression model, analyzing data from the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) 2021 and the World Economic Forum. The sample includes 54 countries and 45,293 individuals, providing a broad basis to assess institutional influences on entrepreneurial activities. Findings The analysis shows that the regulative dimension significantly affects both nascent and active entrepreneurship. The normative dimension primarily influences active entrepreneurship, while the cultural-cognitive dimension plays a key role in nascent entrepreneurship. The findings also reveal that female students are less likely to be active entrepreneurs than their male counterparts. Practical implications These results highlight the need for tailored policies in the tourism industry that consider both the stage of entrepreneurial development and gender-specific challenges. Originality/value This study offers valuable insights into the relationship between institutional factors and tourism entrepreneurship, providing an in-depth look at how these dimensions interact with different stages of the entrepreneurial process. By incorporating gender into the analysis, the research contributes to a better understanding of how to support diverse entrepreneurial activities in the tourism sector. |
