Introduction
In view of the fact that innovation and entrepreneurship are the major trends in the tourism and hospitality industry and the entry technology for the tourism and hospitality industry is easier for start-ups than for high-tech industries and for small and medium-sized enterprises with low thresholds for investment, the demand for business start-ups by the general public has become more and more frequent The larger the cultivation of talents is, the more intense it is. At present, foreign countries have begun to pay more attention to the tourism and hospitality industry for innovation and entrepreneurship (Weiermair, Stiller, & Mossenlechner, 2006; Zapalska, Brozik, & Rudd, 2004; Lee, Hallak, & Sardeshmukh, 2016), there is a lack of integration and comprehensiveness. Most studies only focus on the entrepreneur's personal characteristics, entrepreneur's personal factors, and entrepreneurial psychology (Hisrich, 1990; Littunen, 2000; Zapalska et al., 2004; Ramos-Rodriguez et al., 2012). Compared with the previous single-level discussion, this study will explore the key elements of innovation and entrepreneurship in tourism and hospitality industry through expert interview.
Theoritical Development
Innovation plays an important central role in entrepreneurship (Hebert & Link, 2006). In the past, there was also a lot of empirical research that identified innovation as a tenet of hotel organization performance (Agarwal, Erramilli, & Dev, 2003; Grissemann, Plank, & Brunner-Sperdin, 2013; Lin, 2013; Lee et al., 2016). Hotel industry products are difficult to protect through patents, etc. Therefore, continuous product innovation is very important for the hotel industry and is the main factor in keeping the leading competitive edge in the industry (Agarwal et al., 2003). What's more, implementing a new management structure, improving operational efficiency through new technologies, and new logistics and delivery systems make the enterprise a price-competitive advantage with lower costs due to innovation (Lin, 2013). In addition Enz and Siguaw (2003) believe that hoteliers can gain more competitive advantage if they can integrate and implement innovations in daily operations. From the study of Ndubisi and Iftikhar (2012), it is found that entrepreneurship really affects the innovation of SMEs. All in all, the current tourism and hospitality industry in Taiwan is mostly characterized by SMEs. According to the literature review, this study finds that innovation is the intermediary variable that catalyzes the initiation of entrepreneurial activity by innovation.
