“…Stakeholders in the tourism industry interact with each other to resolve their divergent business objectives across different operating systems. Since they are all embedded in different partial networks and mutually influenced in a whole TSC system, the analysis of a dyadic or triadic relationship should be put into a complex network [34]. Kim (2014) regarded the network as a broad set of firms that are motivated to accumulate tangible and intangible resources in the extended resource-based view.…”

This article identifies the positional attributes of travel agents (TAs) in the extended TA network in Chongqing (China), and further examines the impact of the travel agent's positional embeddedness (measured by three indicators: degree centrality, structural hole, and closeness centrality) on tour supplier integration (TSI). We applied the random permutations method (node-level) to test theoretical hypotheses based on a sample of 51 travel agents (TAs). It was found that the target travel agent's positional embeddedness could positively accelerate the sustainable integration of tour suppliers and the travel agent's structural hole attribute could significantly contribute to the TSI. The results indicated that a TA can strengthen control power by increasing the positional embeddedness to facilitate high efficiency supplier integration through which TAs can encourage the supplier development of sustainability (SDS) practices, and finally to upgrade the tourism supply chain (TSC) sustainability.

“…Tourism supply involves the provision of goods and services to facilitate business, pleasure, and leisure activities away from one's home environment. This process, however, can be technically complicated, because identifying appropriate goods, services and achieving desired quality for international travellers can involve numerous factors to consider (Zhang & Murphy, 2009). The supply side of the tourism system has a fundamental function in the other elements of the system, and policymakers are expected to pay enough attention to its hard and soft infrastructures (Goeldner & Ritchie, 2009;Garcia & Rivero, 2015;Panasuik, 2007).…”

“…As Zhang and Murphy (2009) [7] states, the "successful marketing of a destination requires an effective and healthy management mechanism" (p. 279), so the primary function of the DMO is marketing (Dore & Crouch, 2002) [8].…”

“…Other than this the developing and underdeveloped countries may face issues with the non-compliance of the stakeholders, "one of the challenges is the question of the willingness of travel agencies to undertake these efforts" [28] as they may not be keen on collaboration. A solution to this is that the government should influence the "tourism industry by their power to legislate and to impose regulations on the industry" (Marzano & Scott, 2009) [29].…”

The urban and territorial changes caused by tourism are well introspected areas in contemporary scientific literature. This article adopts an integrative approach with a framework connecting scientific traditions of destination management and competitiveness with a case study of Karnataka's destinations. Tourism is a strategic economic activity in Karnataka, but the uniqueness of the governing bodies accentuates integrated planning pioneering with several distinguishing features. The collective investigation of the development of tourism in the state and the recent narration of territorial planning directs towards conclusions regarding the role of Destination Management Organizations in tourism with urban and contemporary development, which has resulted in the creation of a competency model, and the role methodical planning. This paper accentuates the role of DMOs, responding to the need for a destination management. For this purpose the various functionalities, activities and roles of DMOs are evaluated though literature reviews.
