- Abstract
In this paper we have shown that a no mainstream tourism product can lead to "rediscover" the local area's typical resources, traditions and knowledge when the entrepreneur engages players outside the tourism industry. In this research we have used the case study methodology to show how an entrepreneurial project has led to a sustainable development process. This work does not focus on the economic results of the enterprise but on the motivations and on the choices that have led to its specific design. The research process shows that an entrepreneurial project, that has been awarded by a European Union Commission, can have positive effects on the village, as a human settlement, and it can appreciate village-specific cultural resources when the product has been designed to leverage on authenticity. This case, that is clearly a single best-practice, shows one way to exploit the very same start-up process as a way to sustain the restoration processes needed in these projects. Its practical implications are useful for the public and private sectors as well.
