Description
Summary:Supply-chain management in tourism requires the collaboration and coordination of all companies involved in the production and marketing of tourist products. In order to study the direct and indirect relationships among members of the supply chain, this paper presents an input–output model whose results show the need for balance between direct and intermediated sales, on the one hand, and how individual strategies may impair the benefits of the whole chain, on the other. Additionally, although the producers are the most important agents in terms of turnover, when considering the joint effects of purchases and sales, intermediaries are seen to be the key enterprises of the supply network.
