“…Results supported the hypothesis that domain consensus is positively related to the degree of cooperative relations occurring between tourism organizations, and showed that lack of awareness and differing ideologies act as barriers to effective communication between natural resource management agencies and tourism advocacy organizations. From a tourism planning perspective, the study suggested that community-level interorganizational relationships should be examined empirically since it is the logical level at which tourism planning should occur (Selin and Beason 1991). Interorganizational collaboration theory offers strong possibilities for managing tourism and recreation related issues at the destination level, since destination community domains generally encompass multiple, interdependent stakeholders who could hold divergent views on tourism development.…”

“…While interorganizational collaboration is receiving widespread attention in several research disciplines, the potential application of this emerging body of knowledge for managing the complex and dynamic tourism domain has not been clearly addressed. A notable exception is the study by Selin and Beason (1991), which applied interorganizational relations to the study of cooperative relations between the US Forest Service, chambers of commerce, and tourism associations adjacent to an Arkansas National Forest. From their study, the authors suggested that "tourism managers must adopt a more domain-level focus and consider the interdependencies among organizations when making decisions" (Selin and Beason 1991:649).…”

This paper applies the theoretical constructs of collaboration to tourism destinations and offers insight into interorganizational collaboration for one specific tourism domain, the planning and development of local, community-based tourism destinations. Drawing primarily from the literature on interorganizational relations, the theoretical constructs of collaboration are discussed first. Challenges and considerations in the planning and development of local tourist destinations are then summarized, followed by examples of community-based collaboration research. Propositions are presented for guiding collaborative initiatives and for investigating the application of collaboration theory to the planning and development of tourism destinations, from a community-involvement perspective. Keywords: Collaboration; community-based tourism planning, stakeholders, propositions.R~sum& L'article applique les constructions th6oriques de la collaboration aux destinations touristiques et jette de la lumi~re sur la collaboration interorganisationnelle pour un domaine particulier du tourisme: la planification et le d6veloppement communautaire des destinations touristiques locales.

“…However, more recently, there seem to be significant efforts to introduce and adapt organizational and management theories, and power relation theories to a tourism context (Jamal and Getz 1995;Reed 1997;Selin and Beason 1991). Although those recent efforts have provided further insights for and made viable contributions to understanding the participatory tourism development approach, a re-connection with participation theories is still not satisfactory.…”

Although the notion of community participation in tourism originates from the general concept of community participation in development studies, the subject of the former seems to have evolved and popularized in isolation from the meaning and scope of its origin. This article reveals that such isolation has ushered in a rigid and simple paradigm of community participation in tourism. This is assumed to be of one form and has universal validity without considering the existence of the different circumstances at various tourist destinations. It is suggested that the concept of community participation should be re-considered in terms of an adaptive categorical paradigm, which incorporates a range of various forms of community participation. These forms of participation are outlined for a variety of abstract situations with the aim of illustrating the legitimacy of different forms of community participation in tourism.

“…Research on tourism destination management highlighted how network governance would be so suitable in the first place, given the numerous interdependencies existing among tourism organizations: "From its long chain of distribution system to its fragmented supply components, the tourism field is, by its very nature, dependent upon interorganizational relations to achieve organizational and regional goals" (Selin & Beason, 1991).…”

Abstract. Organizational and sociological research dealing with network governance has mainly focused on network advantages rather than on their problems or dysfunctionalities. This left partially unexplored the field of network failure. Even if some early attempts at explicitly theorizing network failures have been made, we argue that explanations based mainly on social conditions (ignorance and opportunism) offered by this emerging theory (e.g. Schrank and Whitford, 2011), are not exhaustive. In this article we report the results of our empirical investigation on the underperforming network between the worldwide famous Venice Film Festival and its local hospitality system (in Venice, Italy). In the case study we are presenting, we will show how institutions have not been able to inhibit opportunism and sustain trust among network members because of mobilizing practices developed across formal lines of communication. With this work we propose a dynamic theory of network failure, answering to the more general call for network theories to focus the attention on agency and microprocesses.
