“…This is in line with Edwards (1993)'s study revealed that a long-haul tourist destinations was examined on the basis of how accessibility of destination for tourists. A good accessibility quality of a destination or within a destination area has the potential to raise the destination's capacity in attracting new markets, enhance the visitor's experience towards the destination and even can encourage a more sustainable travel between the visitor's home and destination (Guiver & Stanford, 2014).

“…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).…”

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.

“…Nevertheless, Guiver and Stanford (2014), have found that a Destination Manager seldom applies the concept of strategic judgement of influences. In their research into countryside destinations in Great Britain, these authors have concluded that successful introduction of integrated planning is prevented by the structure of the tourist industry, public financing, and difficulties in coordination of several agencies having equal goals.…”

The aim of this paper is to explain further the importance of stakeholder involvement in strategic development of destination management with the purpose of getting a deeper understanding of what different stakeholders perceive as more or less important when it comes to destination management. Key concepts of strategic and destination management are explained in the theoretical part. Based on this, we have posed ourselves the main research question: What are the desires of different stakeholders in the development of the destination in the light of strategic management? Explanations and viewpoints of other authors were summarized, and attempts were made to derive new viewpoints based on our research questions. Results confirm the findings that the life of the local population should be included and engaged actively in the development, when developing the destination and identifying the potentials. Each group of stakeholders plays a special role in the development of the destination. This paper offers an overview of the analysis challenges and trends in the development of a small tourist destination. The most reasonable and appropriate for small destinations is to undertake the management of 'bottom-up' and to consider a common brand, which will provide recognition of the place and its key tourism products.
