“…VNPs engage in co-creation for various purposes, including marketing, promotion, material supply, service development, policy formulation and knowledge design (Cehan et al, 2021). The co-creation model depends on the VNP's motives and attitude towards local economic development ( Smid Hribar et al, 2021). Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the VNP co-creation process holds significant ramifications for the tourism and hospitality industry.…”

PurposeCo-creating with value network partners (VNPs) in the tourism industry has become essential for delivering improved service quality and enhancing consumer experience. This research examines the impact of value co-creation on the satisfaction of VNPs. Further, the study examines the moderating effects of socio-demographic factors on the relation between co-creation and VNP satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe study collected data from VNPs engaged in tourism-related activities (N = 392). It analysed the data through structural equation modelling using SPSS 20 and AMOS 21. The study used the stimulus-organism-response framework to understand VNP's perceptions regarding co-creation.FindingsThe results indicate a significant relationship between the value processes and networks, service offerings, conversations and dialogues and value proposition in relation to co-creation. Additionally, the study identifies the significance of age, education level, job experience and job nature. The findings of the study can enable tourism managers to formulate effective co-creation strategies.Practical implicationsThe insights from the study enable tourism managers to devise co-creation strategies that nurture collaboration with VNPs. Managers can gain insights into the antecedents of the co-creation and the role of demographic factors in shaping strategies.Originality/valueThe study's findings have the potential to shape co-creation policies in the tourism and hospitality industry. Network partners and tourism companies can leverage insights from the study to develop and refine their co-creation policies. By bridging the gaps in the existing literature on value co-creation with network partners, the study contributes significantly to tourism and hospitality literature.

“…In the tourism literature, an increasing interest in networks is divisible into two main streams of application. First, networks are understood as a useful framework for analyzing the evolution of business, product development, packaging and opportunities for further development (Hribar, Visković & Bole, 2021). Second, networks are seen as an important conduit for managing public-private relationships and understanding structures of tourism governance (Hribar, Visković & Bole, 2021).…”

There is no denying the fact that tourism is the largest industry in the world in terms of earnings and employment generation. Visitor Choice Behavior is the post visit behavior intentions of visitor on future choices. The choices are based on distinctiveness of travel experience which is greatly affected by environmental degradation in destinations. Tour operators play a critical role in promoting sustainable environmental practices in destinations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate stakeholder networks in tour operators’ sustainable environmental practices and their influence on visitor choice behavior in Narok County, Kenya. The study was informed by Stakeholder theory approach theory and Rational Choice Theory. The design used was descriptive survey research design. The study population was 176 tour operators registered by Tourism Regulatory Authority, and members of Kenya Association of Tour Operators and have access to Narok county and 397 visitors visiting attractions in Narok County. Questionnaires were issued to visitors and tour operator staff to collect primary data. Interviews schedules were used to get information from high ranking official of tour operators and tourism officials. Data was analysed using statistical package for social science SPSS software version 20.0. The coefficient of tour operators’ sustainable environmental practices had a positive and statistically significant effect on visitor choice behavior (β=.557, P<0.05). The coefficient of communities indicated a positive and statistically significant effect on visitor choice behavior (β=.298, P<0.05). The study concludes that there is need for the Kenya Association of Tour Operators to partner with the Ministry of tourism with the aim of educating and sensitizing visitors about the need to protect environment. There is need of periodic sustainable tourism and environmental related seminars and workshops to sensitize both the visitors and tour operators for the need to uphold sustainable environmental practices. There is need for joint participation in the development of sustainable tourism embedded in environment conservation. Keywords: Stakeholder networks, Tour operators, Sustainable environmental practices, Visitor choice behavior, Narok County.

(Hotel manager)In this regard,Boesen et al (2017), by examining local food networks and their cooperation with tourism activists, one of the reasons for the failure of these networks is the multiplicity of multiple actors in the field of tourism and their disparity with each otherHribar et al (2021), by examining the role of stakeholders in the creation and management of food tourism, propose three models of cooperation to reduce conflicts between them. The findings of our study show that food tourism has not yet been considered as an important branch of tourism in Iran.…”

Food tourism is one of the creative branches of tourism which plays a substantial role in sustainable development. Iran's capacities for developing food tourism have attracted the attention of tourism stakeholders towards this field. Policies were formed in line with its improvement. This paper aims to analyze the food tourism policy in Iran. The policy triangle was used to conduct a qualitative analysis on policy. The total population under the study included various stakeholders of food tourism policy as well as the policy documents. The entire credible documents were analyzed at the first stage rather than carrying out sampling. In the second stage, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with food tourism stakeholders. Results show that factors such as food culture and decreased national income have paved the way for focusing on food tourism. Policies such as global registration of Iranian foods and branding certain cities as creative food cities were implemented to develop food tourism in Iran. Despite preparing a set of strategies to develop food tourism, a unified approach to involve this branch of tourism in the agenda there has never been tried. Given the rich culture of Iranian foods' great ability, it is proposed that associated officials carry out coordinated and comprehensive planning to develop food tourism in Iran.
