“…Forsyth (1995), Curtin and Busby (1999), and Carey, Gountas and Gilbert (1997) in their studies of the UK tourism industry all use in-depth interviewing because 13 of the control this approach affords the researcher over the interview. In-depth interviews also allow the respondent the opportunity to speak in their words on issues that they consider to be important rather than responding within the predetermined categories identified by the researcher, an important requirement for elite interviews.…”

Tourism supply chain management: A new research agenda

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper seeks to review current research on supply chain management (SCM) within the context of tourism. SCM in the manufacturing industry has attracted widespread research interests over the past two decades while SCM studies in the tourism industry are very limited. Stakeholders in the tourism industry interact with each other to resolve their divergent business objectives with different operating scopes. The potential benefit of considering not only individual enterprises but also the tourism value chain becomes evident.The paper examines the characteristics of tourism products, identifies and explores core issues and concepts in tourism supply chains (TSC) and tourism supply chain management (TSCM). While the literature on TSCM or its equivalents emerges recently, the progress is variable with most research being focused on distribution and marketing activities, without fully considering the whole range of different suppliers involved in the provision and consumption of tourism products. This paper provides a systematic review of current tourism studies from the TSCM perspective and develops a framework for TSCM research which should be of great value not only to those who wish to extend their research into this new and exciting area, but also to tourism and hospitality decision makers. The paper also identifies key research questions in TSCM worthy of future theoretical and empirical explorations.

“…Points of view in the literature (Gartner & Bachri, 1994;Buhalis & Laws, 2001;Bastakis, Bulter & Buhalis, 2004;Čavlek, 1998, 2002Mansfeld & Pizam, 2006;Curtin & Busby, 1999;Xin & Chan, 2014;Budeanu, 2009;Spasić, 2013;Budeanu, 2009a;Čavlek, 1998;Kozak & Baloglu 2011;Dolores et al, 2008;Chand & Katou, 2012;Duke & Persia, 2015;Meyer, 2003) refer to the conclusion that the role of tour operators, in the context of their contribution to tourism in a tourist destination, is refl ected in: distribution -including of a destination in their own package tours; role in the fi eld of promotional activities; direction and control of tourist demand fl ows; contribution to tourism development in a tourism destination; contribution to tourism destination sustainable development; impact on tourists' behaviour while choosing tourist destination; impact on creating the awareness among consumers about the destination; impact on the demand perception about the safety and security in tourism destination; impact on image creation of tourism destination; role in providing/selling of tourist experiences linked with a destination; implementation of corporate social responsibility in tourism destination development. Th e importance of tour operators' perception about the destination competitiveness can also be stressed.…”

Abstract:The improvement of competitive position is one of the fundamental preconditions for tourism destination's survival on the market. Accordingly, long-term tourism development in the destination refers, among other things, to the establishment of a continuous tourism destination competitiveness measurement process, based on the permanent monitoring of competitiveness indicators. This paper proposes the adapted integrated model of destination competitiveness, using the example of Serbia as a tourism destination. Basically, the proposed model is based on Dwyer's and Kim's model, previously tested on several tourism destinations (Australia, Korea, Slovenia, and Serbia). The paper presents a theoretical basis for the application of the proposed model. The proposal includes additional indicators to measure competitiveness and two groups of stakeholders that are to be surveyed in order to perform the assessment of competitiveness: tourism demand -tourists and foreign tour operators.
