Through a comprehensive exploration of the economic benefits, social advantages, and cultural significance of cultural entrepreneurship, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on rural development and cultural entrepreneurship. Recognizing and supporting the vital role of cultural entrepreneurship in rural communities, policymakers, and stakeholders can harness the power of culture to drive sustainable development and prosperity in rural areas
