The idea of supply chain management (SCM) is covering its perspective in the form of flow of material and information from the business to customers. Its application in the field of tourism is also very much significant. The objective of present study is to analyze the empirical association between the supply chain management and tourism industry from the context of hotel industry in Indonesia. For this purpose, a questionnaire-based approach is followed while taking the demographic factors regarding age, gender and qualification. A sample of 272 respondents is finally accepted for the empirical examination between supply chain and its implication in tourism industry. Both descriptive and regression analysis are conducted. To analyze the factor of supply chain, sixteen items are considered from the existing literature while considering the strategic supplier partnership, information sharing, and information quality as the key indicators. The factor of tourism is measured through four different proxies. The practical implications of the study are taken both the tourists and key policymakers while dealing with the SCM and its integration with those hotels dealing with the tourism and related services.

The purpose of the present study analysis is to empirically examine the impact of various environmental factors on the Tourism industry in Indonesia.To achieve this objective, data is collected from World Development Indicators during the time of 1996-2016 under the title of environmental factors as defined by the experts of the world bank. A time of 22 years has been finalized for the predictors of tourism industry like forest area (FA), population growth, energy use, agriculture, forestry and fishing along with CO 2 emissions. Both descriptive and regression analysis techniques have been applied while adding the lagged predictors of both tourism industry and environmental factors. Eight regression models have been developed and results are generated through statistical tools like STATA-14. Findings of the study indicate that FA and population growth are the significant determinants of the tourism industry. Among the lagged predictors, international tourism (lagged), Nitrous oxide emissions, and lagged values of FA are significantly affecting international tourism receipt (ITR) in the region of Indonesia. For the 2 nd proxy; tourism expenditures, the key determinants under model 5-8 are, international tourism (lagged), Nitrous oxide emissions (lagged), CO 2 emission (lagged) and population growth. As per the practical implications, this study is very much useful for both the industry experts and policymakers at macro-level. Considering the set of factors as explained in the present study will provide new insight regarding sustainable development through environmental factors of the tourism industry. However, the key limitations are the lack of advance time series investigation, ignoring the impact of macroeconomic indicators and cross region analysis.
