“…Stakeholder collaboration has been found to be dependent on mutual understanding and access to information (Bramwell & Sharman, 1999;Gray, 1989), and cooperation and collaboration among stakeholders have been linked to sustainable tourism development (McKercher, 1993;Poitras & Getz, 2006). Because of the original dual focus of wine tourism research, previous stakeholder studies have principally collected data from winery operators about such issues as their attitudes toward tourism marketing and development, their service levels, and environmental concerns (Alonso & Northcote, 2008;Getz & Brown, 2006a;Harling, 1994;Hashimoto & Telfer, 2003;Howley & van Westering, 2008;Jayawardena et al, 2008;O'Neill & Palmer, 2004;Wilkins & Hall, 2001;Xu, Lü, Chen, & Liu, 2009). A number of studies focus on winery owners' perceived benefits and constraints to development of their wine regions (Alonso & Liu, 2010;Howley & van Westering, 2008;Wilson et al, 2001).…”
