“…The study's findings are similar to the study done in China by Xu, et al (2017). the study established that rapid growth in tourism development resulted to increasing demands for land use, thus some planned tourism projects might not be carried out as a result of lack of local land policy.…”

The sustainable development of tourism destinations relies much on Small and Medium Tourism Enterprises found within Local Government Authorities (LGAs). However, tourism destinations have recently being experiencing an increase of population and social economic activities. This situation creates more demand of the land among stakeholders in particular tourism business. Contrary to lager tourism companies Small and Medium Enterprises(SMTEs) has found to be in a less advantageous position in acquiring land from destination which impairing their growth. Thus, land at the destinations is often regarded as one of the constraints for tourism development. The purpose of this study therefore was to examine the role of Local Government authorities in facilitating land management in tourism destinations particularly considering the effects upon the SMTEs growth. The study was guided by stakeholders' theory. Using census survey design 232 questionnaires were collected from SMTEs owners/managers at Mto wa Mbu ward in Monduli District. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the relationship between the dependent variable, SMTEs growth and five independent variables. The results strongly confirm the put forward hypothesis "Local government Authorities role in facilitating management of land interests has statistically positive influence on SMTEs growth", Moreover, five independent variables: land committee, by-law, land allocation, land law and Land policy have statistically significant impact on the growth of small business. Therefore, the theoretical and practical implications of this study refer to stressing the need and important role of LGA's in managing stakeholders land interests for local tourism that can stimulate the growth of small business within the destination. The study recommends empowerment of Local government Authorities in terms of legal framework to be part in the management regime of local tourism for sustainable development.

“…In China, the major players in competing for land resources include multilevel government agencies. For example, the central government recognizes land resources as both economic drivers and safeguards for national food security (Xu et al, 2017) The single-case study method was chosen for three major reasons. First, as per Voss, Tsikriktsis, and Frohlich (2002), single-case study is used to answer "why" or "how" questions, whereas the research is driven by two how questions: How is the industry convergence strategy shaped, and how is it shaped by the Chinese agricultural land use policy?…”

“…Xu, Xiang, and Huang (2017) describe the situation of land use in China and state that the economic value of land had not been realized until the reform and open‐door policies were enacted. To extract the economic value of land from the market, the central government started land management system reform; therefore, land use rights were separated from land ownership rights and could be transferred in the market (Liu, Fang, & Li, 2014).…”

“…In China, the major players in competing for land resources include multilevel government agencies. For example, the central government recognizes land resources as both economic drivers and safeguards for national food security (Xu et al, 2017); provincial governments are the most important local government entities that bridge the central government and lower‐level government. Provincial governments are responsible for winning over more land quotas for the lower‐level government (Xu et al, 2017).…”

Provincial governments are responsible for winning over more land quotas for the lower‐level government (Xu et al, 2017). Local government is the actual owner of the state land and controls various land rights, such as use rights and transfer rights (transferring the use rights of land) (Huang, He, & Li, 2019).…”

The purpose of the paper is to conceptualize and provide empirical evidence for the adoption of industry convergence strategy to sustainably develop the agricultural complex (AC) as a form of multifunctional agriculture in the Chinese context, which aims to achieve environmental sustainability in agricultural production and promotion of farmers' income and employment opportunities. A longitudinal single‐case study method was adopted. Thirty‐six face‐to‐face interviews were carried out with key respondents from various levels and types of government agencies, the Wu‐Sheng Company, and village collectives; participative observations were conducted during the fieldwork between 2016 and 2019. We found sustainability is embedded in and achieved through the industry convergence strategies of AC in the rural area of China. We are the first to formally define AC, propose the four‐stage industry convergence strategies of Wu‐Sheng in the process of developing the AC, and build connection between the AC and sustainable development. The case provides important, rich insights into the AC, industry convergence, and agricultural land use policy and therefore has enormous implications for agricultural companies as well as governments.
