Chapter Chapter 7 in The Economics of Tourism Destinations, 2012, pp 207-242 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract With this chapter we begin to study the supply side of the tourism sector by focusing on the economic rationale of firms supplying goods and services that are included in the matrix of the tourism product (see Sect. 2.5). By recalling that tourism can be classified and defined according to the dimensions of plurality and heterogeneity, also tourism firms are many and diverse: they range from travel agencies to tour operators, from hotels to campgrounds, from transport companies to amusement parks, to museums, etc.
