AB  - Tourism lifestyle entrepreneurs play an essential role in the innovation, sustainability, and
competitiveness of tourism destinations. Thus, the ability of a destination to attract and retain this
type of entrepreneur is an essential factor in strategic decisions. The limited research on this class of
entrepreneurs implies that decision makers have little information about the factors that contribute
to their willingness to stay in a particular destination. To address this challenge, this study employs a
mixed-method approach, combining a quantitative survey-based study with a qualitative study by
means of in-depth interviews. Based on survey data and using fuzzy set qualitative comparative
analysis, this study identifies three equifinal configurations of antecedent factors (entrepreneurial
self-efficacy, community-centered strategy, community attachment, and place attachment) that lead
to a willingness to stay. Place attachment is the single-core condition. Moreover, the findings show
that TLEs are not a homogeneous group. On the contrary, these entrepreneurs are driven by different
motives and personal backgrounds. These results represent important insights for the definition of
more sustainable strategies in destinations.
