Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how chefs working at five star hotels perceive the menu planning process. Design/methodology/approach Case studies were used to deeply investigate the menu planning process of five star hotels. Data were drawn from in situ interviews and documentation, which were examined via content analysis. After the coding process, themes and categories were extracted and corroborated by direct quotations. Findings The findings revealed that the menu planning process can be classified into five major categories. The first category consists of the prerequisites of planning a menu. The second category is “key issues” and encapsulates the managerial, consumer, gastronomic, marketing and external aspects of menu planning. The third category highlights key actors’ responsibilities in the menu planning process, while the fourth category, “trial and improvement,” elaborates on the iterative process of menu design and the key players and issues involved with it. Finally, the last category outlines the difficulties of menu planning. Originality/value In the existing academic literature, most research conducted about menu planning only provides conceptual framework while empirical information remains unexamined. However, this qualitative study aims to clarify the components of menu planning in more detail in terms of five star hotel firms that offer various food and beverage operations. The present study is an attempt to fill a gap in the existing literature on the subject.

“…Simultaneously, how different governance systems and destinations with varying levels of development compete, mainly if they are cooperative or managerial [9]. Governance to sustainable tourism should take into consideration a shared vision, goal congruence, and interaction [30], engage stakeholders, beginning with the supply side services that could also be a partner or press to innovation [31], and adopt sustainable practices [32]. A sustainable touristic destination concept is related to creating a destination with lasting livelihoods while minimizing resource depletion, environmental damage, cultural instability, and social disruption [6].…”

Sustainable Competitiveness of Tourism in the Algarve Region. Critical Stakeholders’ Perception of the Supply Sector

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Algarve region, located in the south of Portugal, is a well-known tourism destination that seeks to be sustainable and competitive. The local administration looks to establish a collaborative network, where stakeholders take a crucial role. The research aims to appeal to the accommodations and food services stakeholders to have a shared vision of the issues and priorities related to sustainable tourism development. Their perception is a critical factor in making decisions regarding the region’s competitiveness. Algarve’s two major and leading associations of the tourism supply sector AIHSA and AHETA were invited to participate in the study. Based on the responses of an online questionnaire, an artificial intelligence algorithm was applied to the data to identify the common and divergent aspects. The conceptual model developed is based on a simplified model of psychological ownership. The results highlight a convergent perspective regarding sustainability challenges, namely, natural resources and biodiversity, safety, and supply chain. However, hotels and restaurants do not reflect the same perception regarding sustainability initiatives, e-tourism, or free internet access. These divergences are essential results since they indicated which issues require local authorities’ priority intervention.
