The desire to create one's own business in a dynamic sector like Tourism is attracting more and more students and young professionals. In a rapidly changing world, combining digitalization, a search for meaning, and a reinvented customer experience, entrepreneurship in Tourism becomes a real opportunity to seize. At Crews, we train the new generation in dual digital and Tourism expertise, enabling them to transform their ideas into concrete, sustainable, and inspiring projects.
With over 1.3 billion international tourists in 2023 according to the UNWTO, Tourism accounts for nearly 10% of global GDP. In France, the world's leading Tourism destination, the sector contributes over 7% of GDP and employs nearly 2 million people. It is a vast, constantly evolving ecosystem that offers a wide variety of niches to explore: sustainable Tourism, slow Tourism, business Tourism, local or experiential Tourism…
Many students today choose to become self-employed entrepreneurs to launch agile projects: Tourism concierge services, digital guides, specialized travel agencies, local experience platforms, etc. Accessing self-employed status is quick and easy, and hybrid models blending digital and Tourism appeal to new generations.
Good to know: Crews' Digital & Tourism training courses prepare you to create your own project or innovate within an existing company, thanks to concrete projects such as intrapreneurship or entrepreneurship.
The micro-entrepreneur status is ideal for starting in the Tourism sector: it allows for testing an idea with minimal risk and a simplified tax regime. In 2024, over 2.5 million active individuals in France are registered as self-employed entrepreneurs, with a growing proportion in Tourism-related services.
