“…may increase the transactional role of the DMO (Destination Management Organisation) through, for example, the increase in reservations made through the official website, facilitating the online reputation management of the destination or adapting traditional tools so that they can provide smart solutions, as in the case of the smart cards analysed byAngeloni (2016). (6) The application of smart solutions fosters innovation, entrepreneurship and knowledge-based tourism management.…”

“…Additionally, the local societal relationships (intangible asset) and the landscape (material asset) have also been reshaped basically and positively by the effects and externalities of this coopetitive network [39]. Similar coopetitive networks can be recognized in the tourism sectors of Canton of Ticino (Switzerland) and Basilicata (Italy) as well [40,41].…”

In this paper, the spatial dimensions of a transboundary, coopetitive (coopetition: cooperation of rivals) network, established by restaurant owners, are scrutinized empirically by applying advanced toolkits of spatial network analysis (SpNA). The paper emphasizes that the coopetitive network has geographical extensions, and on the other hand, interactions between vertices generate network space. The new type of economic network could thus be analyzed by SpNA to understand the spatial characteristics of a rivals’ network at transboundary level. The paper may be referred to as cutting-edge research, because on one hand, it dissects a new type of economic network (coopetitive networks) and on the other hand, a new method is utilized (SpNA) to study the geographical parameters of inter-firm relationships. This approach emerges as a novel method. As a result, the paper provides significant, fruitful and new findings in both network science and urban economics as well. By employing metrics of SpNA, the main spatial traits of the coopetitive network can be mapped, such as the circumference, spatial structure, diameter, spatial density, spatial small world phenomenon, and global connectivity of the network. The results show that the coopetitive network possesses hub-and spoke spatial framework, in which the hub is localized far from the cluster of players. Moreover, the coopetitive interaction does not require face-to-face nexus, because the focal firm communicates with them via IT devices. The coopetitive activities contribute significantly to the urban economic growth. The main agent (the hub) ought to be supported by the regional development policy at the local and inter-urban geographical scale as well.

“…Steinbach (2003) considers them as territorial offerings that play a role in promoting regional and local tourism products by linking different services and providing certain discounts to generate further demand at the destination. Overall, these tourist cards, also referred to as "destination cards", "city cards", "city passes", "tourist cards", "guest cards", "welcome cards" or "visitor cards" (Angeloni, 2016), have received some attention in research: Various studies have investigated the phenomenon of destination cards from different perspectives (D'Angella & Go, 2009;Figini & Vici, 2012;Guiver & Stanford, 2014;Pechlaner & Zehrer, 2005).…”

“…Thus, the study in hand is based on the assumption that a leisure card offered by government and private corporations combined could represent a functioning model benefitting local residents. However, Schnitzer et al (2018) only focusedlike previous research (compare Angeloni, 2016)on the suppliers' side, i.e. governmental and private corporations and their achievable objectives.…”

Purpose: While tourism cards are quite common, leisure cards are less popular, especially with respect to scholarly research. This study sheds light on leisure cards by analysing a card covering a wide choice of leisure activities in the most populated area in Tyrol, Austria. Methodology: As research lacks insight particularly into the buyers' perspective, an explorative approach including qualitative interviews (n = 7) and an online survey (n = 2391) was chosen. Findings: Data raised suggests the main reasons for purchasing the card include easier access to sports and low price compared to single tickets for attractions. Practical implications: The perceptions of buyers and suppliers basically coincide in terms of the card's added value. Overall, the results lend themselves as an initial point of reference for future deliberations.Research Contribution: This study provides a first insight into the added value of a possibly sustainable and arguably (economically) stable card scheme and thus opens further research opportunities.
