Asian entreprenuership in tourism and hospitality: financial support, business sustainability
Entrepreneurs in tourism constantly find business a challenge, especially when competing with wellestablished players in the industry who have huge capital and large market shares. More often than not, these entrepreneurs must constantly innovate and come up with new ideas on travel booking and new ways to enhance travel experiences. Focusing on entrepreneurs in Asia, very few countries proactively fund aspiring entrepreneurs who often struggle like their American counterparts with credit card debts and huge loans. This chapter reviews Asian entrepreneurs in tourism, with a focus on accessibility to state support and funds, identifying research areas for future studies. Using systematic literature review and country-specific profiling of India, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, the study examines the extent governments support entrepreneurs and the sustainability of their business. This research is intended to trigger insights for both industry practitioners and policymakers and to form an awareness to create a sustainable environment for budding entrepreneurs in tourism

Not AvailableLarvae of the parasitic dioctophymatid
nematode, Eustrongylides Jägerskiöld, 1909, infect
various freshwater fishes. They prefer warm waters and
are often found in water bodies that experience pollution
and eutrophication. A total of 1180 samples of fish
belonging to 12 species from Nagawara lake were
examined for the occurrence of Eustrongylides larvae
and among them, Glossogobius giuris of the family
Gobiidae was found infested with the parasite.
Prevalence of the parasite was highest (40%) during
pre-monsoon season coinciding with the highest
temperature and pH. However, mean intensity (4.88) and
abundance (1.77) were highest in the post-monsoon.
Eustrongylides sp. is zoonotic, and makes this study
relevant and warns consumers from having raw or
undercooked fish.Not Availabl
