Les dynamiques de création d’entreprise dans le secteur du tourisme sportif

Abstract

This article aims at the analysis of the process of new business start-up in the sector of the sports tourism. With the development of outdoor leisure activities, we witness the increase of jobs of socio cultural and sport activities, and the increase of the companies offering prestations of sport leisure. From interviews and ethnographical observations, we brought to light two entrepreneurship dynamics in connection with the entrepreneur capacities and resources which they may get. These two dynamics correspond at two entrepreneurs' profiles. The first one is characterized by an educational logic, and the second by logic more lucrative. These profiles can also materialize two stages different and successive from the career of the same professional.
