“…As an example, there is the wine tourism guide and a support tool for entrepreneurs in the sector, in addition to the requirements for adhesion to the route. These formal rules, applied in the Alentejo organizational field, can guide these organizations’ behavior by imposing restrictions and playing an active role in the design of support mechanisms for tourism businesses (Urbano et al , 2010), and this regulatory pressure can exert an impact on the internal coordination of the organizational field (Golicic et al , 2014).…”

“…Institutional studies developed within the tourism industry seek to explain how the institutional context affects tourism products in rural areas (Forbord et al , 2012) or how it promotes social responsibility (Sánchez-Fernández, 2014; Sánchez-Fernández et al , 2014). Other studies analyze how institutions influence the design and implementation of support policies for tourism businesses (Urbano et al , 2010), the strategies of hotel companies (Karhunen, 2008) or even how mimetic institutional factors affect the culinary innovation process (Ottenbacher and Harrington, 2009).…”

Purpose This study aims to propose that the institutional environment exerts pressure on the behavior of wineries toward wine tourism development (WTD) and the effect of this influence confers legitimacy to the business of wine tourism. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling through partial least squares was applied to estimate and validate a model using data from a quantitative survey in the universe of 62 wineries with a wine tourism component along the Alentejo Wine Route in Portugal. The proposed model is based on institutional theory through an inter-organizational perspective of wineries. Findings The results show that WTD coexists with a highly institutionalized environment, exerting distinctive mechanisms of external pressure together with the search for social legitimacy through actions and practices on the part of the involved wineries. However, the relationship between legitimacy and organizational performance in wineries with wine tourism is not validated. Research limitations/implications The specific sample of the Alentejo wine companies does not allow the results to be generalized. Future studies should replicate the proposed research model using other geographic areas. Practical implications The results are particularly interesting for managers of wineries and should be considered in the decision-making and strategic processes regarding wine tourism. Originality/value The use of institutional theory in the wine tourism context is novel and original. This study fills a research gap by conducting an empirical investigation of wine tourism based on institutional theory, which allows the identification of exogenous factors that can influence and impose restrictions on the organizational behavior of winery companies toward wine tourism.

“…E-tourism has principles that are aligned with its utilization, namely in increasing tourism development. There are three elements that are prerequisites for e-tourism, namely ICT, Tourism and Business, as well as support from the government (Pyke et al, 2016;Rogerson, 2021;Sharafutdinov et al, 2020;Urbano et al, 2010). The table above shows that the number of male respondents was 4 people (80%) and woman (20%).…”

Contributing to research on industrial revolution 4.0 era , this study investigates e-commerce practices carried out by tourist travel businesses in relation to the preparation of human resources in the tourism education sector. Key informant managers in two cities, Bali and Yogyakarta were interviewed to explore their adopted employee training and development models. The resulting data, triangulated by informal observation and document study, were analyzed using a theoretical framework that emphasizes seven indicators of interdependent employee development. The findings indicate that the global-oriented education management will be able to answer various needs in the job market through curriculum reconstruction with a digital human approach.

“…Such policies guiding the tourism industry play an essential role in achieving the competitiveness of tourist destinations. In Spain, for example, public-sector assistance of financial resources led to a positive impact on entrepreneurial activities in the tourism industry which in turn boosted the inflow of tourists (Urbano, et al, 2010). Though policies play an essential role in tourism development, developing countries are faced with the challenge of governments inabilities to draw and implement tourism policies, thereby influencing the sector to underperform (Okharedia, 2017).…”

The Travel and Tourism Competitive Index regards the business environment as one of the pillars supporting the tourism industry wellbeing. Africa has failed to stay competitive in the global tourism industry since 2007; hence studies that have the potential to positively influence the tourism policies are critical at this point. Although the importance of the business environment has been emphasised, researchers have not been keen to explore this area, especially in the African context. This study aims to create an understanding on the business environment support structures, policies and practices employed by best tourism performing African countries. Using the secondary research approach, the findings of this study shed light on the legal frameworks, taxation policies, public sector institutions, and business policies utilised by the benchmarking countries to enable a supportive business atmosphere. A comparative analysis of strategies practiced by the benchmarking countries is presented to identify the similarities and differences of the strategies implemented in the benchmarking countries.
