Methodology – The paper investigates the entrepreneurial intentions and skills of students of the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management. The research, using a questionnaire based on a sample of 323 undergraduate students, shows the motivation factors of the entrepreneurial intentions in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
