“…There is a number of researches which indicate that strategic leadership is connected with the ability of human resources to implement with success a change management program (Belias & Koustelios, 2014;Belias et al, 2017;Belias and Trihas., 2022a;Belias and Trihas, 2022b;. Overall, the tourist sector is a service which relies on the performance of the employees, especially on hotels (Rossidis et al, 2021;Rossidis et al, 2021b;Rossidis et al, 2019;Rossidis et al, 2019b;Badr El-Deen, R., & Ali, 2021;Belias and Trihas., 2022c;Ntalakos et al, 2022a). Nonetheless, there is a number of publications (Agyapong & Boamah, 2019;Alseiari et al, 2019;Ntalakos et al, 2022b; that have focused on the lack of a research tool for measuring strategic leadership in the hotel sector.…”

Over the past two decades, scholars and practitioners are interested in the term of Strategic Leadership. Strategic Leadership is a leader’s ability to anticipate, envision, being flexible, and enable others to make strategic changes as required. There are several researches connecting strategic leadership with various variables of the Human Resource Management (HRM), such as: work stress, (Baysak and Yener, 2015), work commitment (Chiang & Wang, 2012) and role conflict (Palomino & Frezatti, 2016). Hence, it is very important to develop a reliable measurement tool which will explore the nature of strategic leadership and map its dimensions. Barbara Davies & Brent Davies (2004) have already developed a model which consists of both the organizational abilities and the individual characteristics of strategic leaders. The main purpose of the current paper is to study the application of Davies & Davies model (2004) in the hospitality industry. More thoroughly, the empirical data used on this paper has derived by a research consisted of 372 participants who work on Greek Hotel Companies. The method used to analyze the connections between the items of the strategic leadership was factor analysis. The findings support that Davies & Davies model (2004) can be used as a measurement tool in the hospitality industry. Thus, the current paper aims to contribute to the comprehension of the nature of strategic leadership on the hospitality and tourism industry, and trigger future empirical research in the field.

“…Today, consumers are offered various choices of destination and they choose one which has a positive image and whose image is in line with their perception of themselves (Rossidis et al, 2019). According to Dwivedi, Yadav and Patel (2009), destination image is a set of objective knowledge, impressions, prejudices and feelings a customer has about a certain destination.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to identify and investigate the factors that influence the building and managing of luxury destination brands. Based on a review of existing literature, the authors identified eight crucial factors: accommodation quality, quality of gastronomy offers, premium price, service quality, luxury shopping, unique experience, transportation infrastructure, and celebrity. The research was conducted on a sample of 619 respondents from 16 countries. Factor and regression analyses were used. The results indicate that the availability of celebrity and luxury shopping has the strongest significant influence on luxury destination brand building, while the impact of accommodation quality and a premium price is non-significant, and, interestingly, transportation infrastructure has a negative and significant impact. A convenience sample and the possibility of omitting certain factors (e.g. safety) from the research represent the main research limitations. This research contributes to marketing and brand management literature by identifying and investigating the factors that help in building and managing a luxury destination brand, which to date has been neglected in literature.
