Destination marketing requires businesses in a geographically limited
area to work together to create greater levels of awareness of the
destination. This book provides a holistic and systematic view of the
collaborative strategies and processes with a focus on capacity and
competence building for tourism organizations and destinations within an
increasingly competitive marketing context. This book introduces the
concept of collaboration and strategic networks as a destination
marketing strategy. The book also provides valuable insights and
guidelines into the process of strategic networking, while evidence from
case studies has been integrated to support and enhance the strategies
proposed. The book's systematic approach of combining
theoretical/conceptual framework with practical industry implications
makes the concepts easy to understand and implement in the business
world.
