Tourism is one of the largest industries that create jobs and grow the community's economy. Facing increasingly fierce competition, improving business performance is one way that tourism industry players can do. Entrepreneurial leadership behavior, with a combination of flexibility, the ability to increase creativity, and the ability to deal with vulnerable market situations to maintain an organization’s competitive advantage, is one of the essential factors that determine the level of business performance of a company. This study analyzed a sample of 215 individual tourist attraction leaders in East Java Province using SEM-PLS. The results showed that entrepreneurial leadership affects tourism business performance, and entrepreneurial orientation shows the same. Entrepreneurial Orientation can also act as a mediating variable in this study, but Government Support offers results that do not moderate the effect of entrepreneurial leadership on tourism business performance. This research can be the basis for further study and be a concern for business people in increasing Entrepreneurial Leadership to improve their business.
