“…Second, the result of this study that increased supply chain integration leads to higher corporate performance confirms the current knowledge that when a supply chain is integrated, performance of the firm can be enhanced [81]. Moreover, the positive influence of supply chain integration on MICE destination competitiveness identified in this research corroborates the argument of previous studies that increased partnerships among stakeholders could trigger an enhancement of destination competitiveness [90].…”

“…For infrastructure to be well developed, to offer satisfactory activities, and to provide high-quality services to visitors, collaborative work among stakeholders is essential. In fact, Kvasnová, Gajdošík, and Maráková [90] identified that the degree of partnership among tourism stakeholders has a positive influence on destination competitiveness. Moreover, enhanced supply chain integration has been known to improve product quality and the level of customer service [91].…”

The MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) industry consists of various stakeholders and their collaboration is essential in achieving the success of the entities involved. Yet, limited attention has been paid in the literature to examining cooperation among them. Thus, this research intends to understand the impact of social capital on supply chain integration in the MICE industry and the influence of supply chain integration on corporate performance and MICE destination competitiveness. Based on purposive sampling to recruit respondents working in the MICE industry in Busan, Korea, surveys were distributed online and offline. A total of 158 valid samples were utilized for data analysis, in which partial least squares (PLS)-SEM was conducted. According to the results of this study, relational and cognitive social capital affects supply chain integration and enhanced supply chain integration leads to higher corporate performance and destination competitiveness. The findings unearth novel understanding regarding the importance and function of collaboration among stakeholders in the MICE industry, from the perspective of social capital and supply chain integration, that offers valuable theoretical and practical implications.

“…Interest groups that should cooperate in the destination are often identified differently (Sheehan & Ritchie, 2005 ; Friedman & Miles, 2006 ; Bieger, 2008 ; UNWTO, 2019 ; Kvasnová et al, 2019 ). Beritelli et al ( 2015 ) draw attention to the difficulty of reaching a consensus with the simultaneous involvement of all stakeholders with conflicting interests in the strategic process.…”

The presented article focuses on examining two important areas within the framework of tourism development in the region, namely development management and cooperation of the interest groups in the tourism industry in the region. The main goal of the presented article is threefold: (1) identifying and measuring the perceived rate of problems in development management in the tourism industry, (2) identifying and measuring the perceived rate of problems of cooperation between the interest groups in the tourism industry, (3) examining connections between problem rates of development management and cooperation between interest groups in tourism. Based on professional literature, key factors (problems) in these areas were identified. Subsequently, tools to measure the rate of development, the reliability of which was verified based on McDonald's omega, were created. The article is supported by a primary survey in which 95 experts on the topic of regional tourism from Europe participated. The results indicate an average to above-average perceived rate of problems within the examined areas. An examination of the relationships between the problems of development management and the cooperation of interest groups in the development of regional tourism can be considered significant, where significant positive connections were confirmed. The results add to the knowledge base of the issue in question. At the same time, it is possible to identify practical benefits within the framework of identification, quantification and comparison of individual problems within the framework of tourism development.

“…In the literature, most of the relevant research has been conducted on destinations that are widely preferred such as mass tourist locations but which are less competitive than alternative tourism examples (Benedetti, 2000;Dragi cevi c et al, 2009;Hallman et al, 2014;Zhou et al, 2015;Reisinger et al, 2018;Gupta and Singh, 2019;Dodds and Holmes, 2020;Mili cevi c et al, 2020;Marasigan and Borbon, 2021). In addition, it has been observed that only tourists (Chen et al, 2011(Chen et al, , 2016Hallman et al, 2014;Wong, 2018;Mili cevi c et al, 2020;Bire et al, 2021) or stakeholders (Enright and Newton, 2004;Lee and King, 2008;Armenski et al, 2012Armenski et al, , 2017Goffi and Cucculelli, 2012;Kvasnov a et al, 2019;Marasigan and Borbon, 2021) are preferred as the population in the majority of studies conducted on destination competitiveness. This reveals that there is a need for a comparative and holistic study on the competitiveness of tourism destinations with limited and unique tourism products in the form of alternative tourism.…”

PurposeThe aim of the study is to contribute to the body of knowledge with a different and richer approach, by evaluating the competitiveness of the Cappadocia Region, which has a culture-oriented single or limited product variety, with a comparative and holistic approach from the perspective of visitors and stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachThis research, designed on the basis of the Cappadocia Region to make original and rich contributions to the literature on destination competitiveness, has the characteristics of a field study based on collecting and analyzing raw data through scales. For this purpose, research was conducted with 401 visitors and 277 tourism stakeholders. Data was analyzed using t-tests to compare two groups and the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare more than two groups. Cronbach's alpha analysis, nomological validity and a pilot test were conducted for validity and reliability. In addition, descriptive statistics and normality test were used in addition to the exploratory factor analyses.FindingsBecause of the research, it was seen that the competitiveness perceptions of the participants in the region differed and that the region has many strengths such as natural beauties, accommodation facilities and a positive image. However, it was determined that the competitiveness perceptions of visitors who have more touristic experiences in the region have increased in parallel with their touristic experiences. It was established that the competitiveness perceptions of the stakeholders who have comprehensive knowledge of the managerial problems and the destination competitiveness components of the region are generally lower than the visitors.Practical implicationsThis study provides some practical implications for touristic destinations based on the research area. In order for destinations to survive in a fierce competitive environment and strengthen their competitive position, it is very important to analyze and evaluate consumers' needs and requests correctly, reveal existing differences, and use resources effectively. In addition to strengthening the image of the destination and adopting a sustainable and innovative approach, the integrated tour programs that offer touristic activities in nearby cities can be diversified with nature and adventure activities.Originality/valueIt is seen that studies that have been conducted with a comparative and holistic approach with data obtained from both visitors and stakeholders are quite limited. In addition, most of these studies have been conducted on destinations that are widely preferred such as mass tourism but which are less competitive than alternative tourism examples. Therefore, this study has a broad perspective and strong implications for destination competitiveness.
