“…Although the concept of synergy is slightly different, it is often associated with the terms integration, coordination and convergence to express a similar trend in two industries (Su et al, 2019). Cetinski et al (2009) studied the synergy between tourism stakeholders in terms of public-private partnerships and demand for tourism at the destination (see also : Omerzel, 2011). Others have investigated tourism business growth in a city (Marques and Santos, 2016), destination marketing (Cole, 2012), synergy between various tourism subcategories, e.g.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to provide a thematic literature analysis of smart tourism and the role of stakeholders and synergy relating to the implementation of smart tourism.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a review of prior research by various authors on smart tourism and the role of stakeholders and synergy relating to the implementation of smart tourism.FindingsResearch studies define the concept of smart tourism as a form of technological, economic and social evolution, which is influenced by such elements as the Internet, social media, smart devices and mobile applications, among others. Stakeholder theory is based on the organizational context, and various individuals and groups within an organization are mutually supported and influenced by the same organizational goals. The research studies have found that cooperation between internal and external stakeholders could involve designing a tourism strategy, coordinating tourism promotion and branding, raising local tourism awareness, standardizing tourist facilities, making ticket price policies and communicating with tourism stakeholders.Originality/valueThe paper provides a thematic literature review of smart tourism, the role of stakeholders and synergy from the perspective of the implementation of smart tourism.

Although public–private partnerships (PPPs) for tourism have received extensive attention, there has been limited research on their application to tourist toilets. The purpose of this study was to systematically explore the applicability of PPPs with respect to the construction and operation of tourist toilets. The study conducted field investigations and semi-structured interviews in the Qingdao Laoshan Scenic Area (LSA), where purposive sampling techniques were used to manage participant selection and expand sample sizes. It finds that first, the use of PPPs to build tourist toilets is new and has shown both development potential and challenges. Second, the use of PPPs to provide tourist toilets is not yet mature owing to management and supply inefficiencies. Third, the DBTO model in the Laoshan case offers a significant methodological value for similar PPP projects, which could be replicated and promoted more widely when certain conditions are met. This study has filled a research gap in the global toilet revolution and shows a different path from the investment guarantee system in developed Western countries and the Guilin model in China. This application of a PPP in provision of tourist toilets also broadens the knowledge base of researchers studying PPPs in the field of tourism and could lead to the development of a policy approach with respect to PPPs’ application in the toilet revolution and regional tourism development.

Does PPP Matter to Sustainable Tourism Development? An Analysis of the Spatial Effect of the Tourism PPP Policy in China

et al. 2018

Funding and efficiency have always been important factors that restrict the sustainable development of tourism in developing countries. The PPP (Public Private Partnership) is an innovative model for addressing the above problems and is popular in the sustainable development of tourism around the world. The performance evaluation of tourism PPP is a key step towards promoting the PPP policy and sustainable development. In particular, the analysis of spatial effects that are easily overlooked will help to improve the measure of PPP performance. Based on tourism PPP projects in the PPP database of the Ministry of Finance in China, this paper analyses the spatial patterns and development characteristics of tourism PPP, identifies and measures the impact factors of tourism PPP by virtue of the GeoDetector method, and analyzes the function of PPP in tourism development and governance. The research shows that there are significant spatial disparities in the tourism PPP projects. Although tourism PPP is the result of interactions between multiple factors, what plays a critical role is the financial factor. PPP acts as a policy driver in tourism development in China. It corrects spatial mismatch between tourism resources and factors, eliminates space barriers and promotes the realization of spatial justice of tourism development. This study not only contributes to the improvement of China's PPP policy, but also has implications for PPP policies in other developing countries.Sustainability 2018, 10, 4058 2 of 15 ($318 billion) during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. In contrast to the enormous demand, the supply of the tourism industry faces huge factor gaps, especially in relation to funding and experienced professionals. It is important and urgent to introduce the PPP (Public Private Partnership) to attract private capital into tourism development, ease the government's financial pressure and accelerate the development of the tourism industry.PPP, which is an innovation model under the impact of new public management (NPM) in infrastructure and public service, provides advantages of filling the funding gap of local governments, sharing risks rationally, improving efficiency, promoting institutional reforms, and boosting economic development [3]. To mitigate the debt risks of local governments and promote private capital development, Chinese governments have issued dozens of policies to encourage PPP development, and consequently a PPP fever has developed since 2014 [4]. Since 2014, the application of PPP has covered 19 sectors including energy, transportation, education, municipal works and tourism. In contrast to other fields such as water supply and sewage treatment and transportation, tourism PPP has just emerged in recent years.It is very difficult to conduct a substantial evaluation of the implementation effectiveness of the PPP in these early stages. Therefore, the current PPP policy evaluation mainly focuses on the ex-post evaluation of theoretical analyses and case studies [5][6][7]. There is a major flaw in exis...
