“…Firms may benefit from sharing resources, knowledge and infrastructure characteristic of a given economic activity (e.g., Rosenthal & Strange, 2001, 2004. In the case of the tourism industry, for example, Segarra-Oña et al (2012) look at the impact of localization economies on the economic performance and competitiveness of Spanish hotels. Peiró-Signes et al (2015) carry out a similar investigation on US hotels.…”

The study explores the geographical pattern of the accommodation industry in the Italian insular region of Sicily, focusing on the determinants of the risk of market exit. We adopt a standard framework of business survival analysis where agglomeration economies play an important role. We then extend the analysis by considering the role of geography to explore whether the risk of market exit depends on nearness to desirable amenities. The geography is here measured by the distance from the coast and the altitude of the place where the firm is located. When we look at the entire population of accommodation firms that started between 2010 and 2014, we find evidence that the risk of failure increases for those which are over 2 km from the coast.

“…3 Lastly, as in the studies mentioned above, LQs based on employment or GVA data will be used as an index to establish whether our study area (Messinia) specialises in the activities (hospitality and catering) that comprise an LTPS. The LQ has been used as a method not only for the identification of LTPSs but for tourism clusters as well (Segarra-On˜a et al, 2012).…”

Exploring the potential operation of a local tourism production system: The case of Messinia, Greece

The local tourism production system has been used in the literature as a territorial model to analyse a tourism destination and examine the interrelationships among its stakeholders. In this paper, we elaborate on this model by additionally analysing the economic linkages of the local tourism production system activities with local sectors, and seek to examine whether Messinia, a region in south-western Greece, fulfils the conditions for the operation of a local tourism production system. For this purpose, in conjunction with secondary data, 276 questionnaires were used from a business survey conducted via personal interviews at enterprises that are directly or indirectly affected by tourism. The results of the analysis show that our study area fulfils all four criteria set for the operation of such a system, though it does display strengths (high concentration of small- and medium-sized enterprises, strong economic linkages) and weaknesses (marginal specialisation, unsteady social ties). Meanwhile, the operation of a large tourism enterprise in the region does not act competitively but rather as a propulsive activity to the local tourism production system, thus supporting the notion that a large enterprise can boost a local production system and extending it within the tourism context. The paper concludes that investigating the economic linkages of the local tourism production system activities allows for a more accurate assessment of its operation, which in our case could be further enhanced by establishing a focal actor in a tourism network or cluster.

“…It is difficult to overestimate the role of clusters for the development of rural territories [19,26]. The capacity of a tourist flow is usually higher for companies joining a cluster than for companies working beyond it [15,20,24].…”

The paper considers various approaches of domestic and foreign researchers to the interpretation of the "cluster" concept. It studies the main stages of formation and development of clusters. Possibilities of cluster approach in environmental management for the development of new hi-tech and ecologically safe directions are discussed based on foreign and Russian clustering experience. Strengths (fertile chernozem soils, diversity of climatic, geomorphological, landscape conditions, etc.) and weaknesses (insufficient activity and initiative of business communities regarding generation of independent projects, unexpressed public involvement, etc.) of environmental management clustering in the conditions of the Russian economy are revealed and its importance is stated. The analysis of structural logic diagrams of interregional clusters recommended for the development in the northeast Caucasus confirms a variery of opportunities to increase innovativeness and competitiveness of local production, services sector and multiplicative effect of formed systems of environmental management by strengthening vertical and horizontal interactions between public authorities, local government, business and research communication centers. Keywords-interregional clustering; principles and models; systems of environmental management; balanced developmentVIII
