Poverty is generally associated with developing countries in the global South; however, in developed countries like the USA, there are also many areas in relative poverty. Scrutiny of the role of tourism, and of tourism micro-entrepreneurship, as tools for poverty reduction has dramatically increased over the last decade, but few studies have examined the issue in developed countries. Considering that in developed regions there are areas with high levels of poverty while others are growth centers, a regional development perspective is needed to help address how tourism micro-entrepreneurship interacts with sustainable poverty reduction. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine how tourism, poverty, and micro-entrepreneurship interact spatially across North Carolina and its adjacent states, and identify where tourism micro-entrepreneurship has the most potential for promoting local economic development.

520 $a Poverty is generally associated with developing countries in the global South; however, in developed countries like the USA, there are also many areas in relative poverty. Scrutiny of the role of tourism, and of tourism micro-entrepreneurship, as tools for poverty reduction has dramatically increased over the last decade, but few studies have examined the issue in developed countries. Considering that in developed regions there are areas with high levels of poverty while others are growth centers, a regional development perspective is needed to help address how tourism micro-entrepreneurship interacts with sustainable poverty reduction. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine how tourism, poverty, and micro-entrepreneurship interact spatially across North Carolina and its adjacent states, and identify where tourism micro-entrepreneurship has the most potential for promoting local economic development.
520 $a First, based on a framework of cluster theory, this study investigates how tourism micro-entrepreneurship, amenities, and the formal tourism sector cluster across the study area, and identifies where such spatial clusters have the potential to promote local development. Second, based on the conceptual framework of spatial heterogeneity, this study uses geographically weighted regression to explore how determinants of tourism micro-entrepreneurship, their effects, and tourism micro-entrepreneurship's role in helping promote development vary spatially. And third, this study analyzes hotspots of tourism micro-entrepreneurship and economic development based on univariate and multivariate spatial outlier detection frameworks and the implications for local and regional government to develop effective management practices. Overall, this study revealed that in the areas with relatively high-level of tourism amenities of North Carolina and Virginia, tourism micro-entrepreneurship has been utilized and generally associated with local economic growth, while in some areas of the other states, tourism micro-entrepreneurship has yet to be utilized for economic revitalization.
