“…Despite the benefits of stakeholder collaboration in the context of DM 2 , it is often inhibited (McComb et al, 2016) due to the complex nature of the process and ineffective communication (Saito & Ruhanen, 2017). Furthermore, collaboration can be challenged by the imbalance of power (Frame, Thomas, & Day, 2004) stemming from multistakeholder collaborative entities comprising larger and smaller enterprises with varying levels of resources.…”

“…Although participants were aware of the benefits of collaboration in light of disasters as highlighted in the literature (Gray & Wood, 1991;Jiang & Ritchie, 2017;Waugh & Streib, 2006), they neglected to partake in such actions outside of general marketing and promotion activities. The prime reasons given for noncollaboration included the perceived limited value of joint efforts and the challenges in allocating scarce in-house resources to coordinate collaborative actions, which confirms Frame et al (2004), McComb et al (2016), and Saito and Ruhanen (2017). Interestingly, many TBs stated their interest in more collaboration as they recognized its importance for effective disaster preparedness and recovery.…”

The disaster management principles should be integrated into the destination management plans to enhance resilience of tourist destinations to natural disasters. The success of such integration depends on the extent of tourism stakeholder collaboration, but this topic remains understudied, especially in the Caribbean. This paper evaluates tourism resilience in Grenada. It finds that local tourism stakeholders are well aware of the potential damage natural disasters can inflict on the destination but fail to develop effective measures to build destination‐wide and organizational resilience. The paper proposes an action framework to aid tourism stakeholders in Grenada to more effectively plan for disasters.

“…Directly benefitting the local people might be key to avoiding conflicts between them and the PAs, as the benefits to the locals can be substantial, such as tourism-generated income [41]. Understanding the local people's benefits related to the Geopark is essential for striking a balance between conservation goals and local communities' needs [11,42].…”

The relationship between humans and protected areas may contribute to the success of conservation efforts. The Qinling Mountains are significant to China and the rest of the world, and the Qinling Zhongnanshan UNESCO Global Geopark comprises eight distinct scenic spots with residential communities. This study investigated the Geopark’s relationship between humans and protected areas by examining local residents’ incomes and land ownership characteristics. Data were derived from a questionnaire survey of 164 residents living in or near four of the eight scenic spots. Their individual and household incomes, requisitioned farmland losses and compensations, employment, and participation were analyzed. Most respondents were aged 30–70 years, and 90.9% were locally born and raised in the region. They tended to be self-employed in food catering or accommodation services within the Geopark or near its entrance. Reliance on the Geopark for their livelihoods was significant, because they worked full-time and earned a major share of their household incomes from Geopark-related employment. Fifty respondents reported that their farmland was requisitioned during the Geopark’s establishment. However, not all of them were financially compensated, and compensation was not equally distributed among those who received it. Reforming the complex top-down administrative system and developing an effective profit-sharing scheme for local residents are suggested measures for enhancing public satisfaction and knowledge about the Geopark, both factors that were low among the respondents. Increasing the local residents’ participation in Geopark activities is an important way to avoid conflict; increasing the number of job opportunities for local residents is proposed to achieve this goal.

“…According to Saito and Ruhanen (2017), no tourism organisation, even if it is pre-eminent in the sector, is capable of developing an effective tourist destination in its own right. The formation and development of cooperative relations among stakeholders thus appear as a prerequisite for the development of sustainable tourism (Albrecht, 2013).…”

Tourism's contribution to the economy, in general, and to local economies, in particular, is widely accepted. Given the increasing competition between destinations and complexity of tourism destination management, the formation and development of cooperative relationships between stakeholders has become a requirement for success and sustainability. This study sought to understand business cooperation in terms of specific territories' complementarity, with a specific focus on tourism development in the Portuguese subregion of the Setúbal Peninsula. A qualitative methodology was applied using a case study. Documentary sources were analysed to collect data to facilitate the peninsula's characterisation, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with a focus group. The results indicate that stakeholders understand cooperation's importance to obtaining synergies that ensure tourism and regional development. The interviewees identified a set of benefits associated with cooperation, but these experts are all aware of this strategy's challenges, which, nonetheless, do not necessarily diminish their willingness to cooperate.
