“…"Wines of Crete" was founded in 2006; today, it constitutes one of the fastest growing and best organized wine producers" associations, including 33 wineries-members [17]. Primary data used in this study were collected under a fieldwork involved on-site visits and personal interviews with 32 out of 33 winery operators of the "Wines of Crete", using a census questionnaire, yielding a response rate of 97.0%.…”

Original Research Article Resilience has emerged as a transdisciplinary concept in scientific research, being applied in a wide range of scientific disciplines. This study explores Organizational Resilience of the tourism hosting wineries. More specifically, it estimates Organizational Resilience scores of tourism hosting wineries using a composite index approach. Utilizing recent literature in the field, perceived Organizational Resilience is composed of perceived Planned and Adaptive Resilience, each of which is estimated using a group of Likert-scale statements. Using Crete as a case study, this study investigates the association of spatial characteristics of wineries, wine tourism entrepreneur"s profile as well as profile and management of wine tourism enterprises with the Organizational Resilience and its components. On average, the perceived Organizational Resilience and its components can be considered relatively high. Adaptive Resilience seems to be more important for Cretan tourism hosting wineries indicating that winemakers consider more important to adjust after crises rather than be ready to confront crises. In addition, nonparametric statistics reveal various factors that affect perceived Organizational Resilience and its components. Male entrepreneurs assign higher Adaptive Resilience scores than female, while geographical location seems to significantly affect resilience scores. Level of innovation and the size of the enterprise tend to positively affect resilience scores. On the contrary, family contribution in terms of labour negatively affects resilient scores, which could link to possible lack of expertise among family members regarding wine tourism activity. Finally, managerial practices like keeping records about visitors and wine bottle price segmentation also affect Planned and/or Adaptive Resilience scores.

“…Destination competitiveness is measured through specific competitiveness factors, especially focusing on specific factor sets that are of relevance in a specific destination competitiveness group and specific destination life-cycle stage [10][11][12][13]. Competition in general business terms is about success and about outperforming the others in a particular market by aligning one's firm's activities according to priorities and establishing a profitable and sustainable industry position [14,15].…”

Developing a Competitive and Sustainable Destination of the Future: Clusters and Predictors of Successful National-Level Destination Governance across Destination Life-Cycle

et al. 2020

This study advances the research and methodological approach to measuring and understanding national-level destination competitiveness, sustainability and governance, by creating a model that could be of use for both developing and developed destinations. The study gives a detailed overview of the research field of measuring destination competitiveness and sustainability. It also identifies major predictors of destination competitiveness and sustainability and thereby presents destination researchers and practitioners with a useful list of priority areas, both from a global perspective and from the perspective of other similar destinations. Finally, the study identifies two major types of destination governance with implications for research, policy and practice across the destination life-cycle. The research deals with the analysis of the secondary data from the World Economic Forum Travel and Tourism Index (WEF T&T). Major types of destination governance and predictors of belonging to either one of the types, as well as inside cluster predictors have been extracted through a two-step cluster analysis. The results support the notion that a meaningful model of national-level destination governance needs to take into account different development levels of different destinations. The main limitation of the study is its typology creation approach, as it inevitably leads to simplifications.

The wine industry involves both the production (i.e., from vine to wine) and consumption of wine (i.e., dining and tourism experiences). This results in a complicated system of intertwined product and services supply chains. Recent studies in the field suggest several key perspectives for future research, such as sustainability, resilience and circular economy. However, the complex nature of the sector which comprises numerous stakeholders and flows (i.e., products—services—information), entailing knotty interactions and interdependencies, makes any research direction questionable in terms of its effectiveness. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide a tool for designing targeted future research in such multiple environments. We employed an end-to-end mapping approach using data from the Greek wine supply chain, identifying essential insights for a compelling research agenda. The key output is a set of three supply chain maps revealing the structure, processes and actors from all the main angles: basic production, value chain and stakeholders. A synthesis of these maps supports an overall understanding of the sector, unmasking any interaction and hidden information holdups. The study thus aims to offer an integrated research framework that highlights the leading priorities of the Greek wine industry.
