Summary/Abstract: Effects of tourism development are reflected in all areas of community development - economic, social, cultural and environmental. Social entrepreneurship solves many problems associated with unemployment and exclusion of certain categories of people. The research is aimed at social entrepreneurship in tourism in the European Union. Objective of the paper is an analysis of sectoral focus of social entrepreneurship subjects with an emphasis on the tourism and related areas and formulation of recommendations for setting up this instrument of social policy in Slovakia. Slovakia has reserves to ensure conditions for the development of the social economy (there doesn‘t exist a specific legal form of social entrepreneurship, there is insufficient institutional support, training and coaching in this area). Slovakia has potential for development of social entrepreneurship in tourism, culture and recreation,agriculture and services, which meet the collective needs and contribute to the development of communities and social capital and in another areas.
