Abstract
While migrant entrepreneurship has received considerable research attention within tourism research over the years, the interplay of gender and ethnicity on the migrant tourism entrepreneurship phenomenon has rarely been discussed. To aid our understanding and appreciation of the migrant tourism entrepreneurship phenomenon in developing country contexts, this chapter focuses on Ghana and explores the role of gender and ethnicity in shaping migrant tourism entrepreneurs' opportunities, inequalities, and constraints. Using a qualitative methodology, the chapter unpacks the experiences of 16 internal migrant entrepreneurs in coastal Ghana. The chapter contributes to the body of knowledge on migrant tourism entrepreneurship by providing insights into the migrant tourism entrepreneurs' mobility decision-making process as well as their experiences of integration in and relationships with their host communities.
