Question

Describe partnerships and collaboration relative to the tourism industry.

Answer 1

Partnership and collaboration in tourism industry has become integral part because we can see that Many tourism firms, hotels, airlines etc make partnership with others and collaborate with them to make their business grow.

Collaborative arrangements for tourism planning involve face-to-face interactions between stakeholders who may be in the public, semi-public, private or voluntary sectors, including pressure and interest groups.

Partnerships involved in tourism planning usually bring together interests in the same destination but in different sectors, or else parties in different destinations but with mutual interests in one issue or related issue .

the Key reason of collaboration and partnerships is The belief that tourist destination areas and organizations may be able to gain competitive advantage by bringing together the knowledge, expertise, capital and other resources of several stakeholders .

Collaboration occurs when a group of autonomous stakeholders of a problem domain engage in an interactive process, using shared rules, norms and structures, to act or decide on issues related to that domain . Tourism collaboration ‘may be highly structured, characterized by legally binding agreements, or may be quite unstructured verbal agreements between participating organizations’.
