This paper presents the model of e-market structure and process analysis of tourism e-commerce. First the tourism e-commerce status quo is given clearly; secondly e-commerce and its classification, especially B2B2C show themselves; thirdly, based on the above, the paper focuses on the analysis of tourism e-commerce model, e-market structure and process. Using the four-quadrant method, the model reveals why tourism e-commerce is reaching its prime compared with other business, and that tourism e-commerce informationizes its value chain, resulting in numerous value-generating strategies such as value extraction, value capture, value addition and value creation; The tourism e-market structure, just a B2B2C application, is actually a tourist information network linking all market participants and reflecting the economic relationships between them; tourism e-commerce process is only the process of suppliers plus tourist life cycle, deeply leading to distributed B2B2C application.

Resources and Activities Complementarities: the Role of Business Networks in the Provision of Integrated Rural Tourism

This paper focuses on the role of business networks, and especially on the ways in which formal and informal interactions among economic agents shape the tourist product. Local businesses are considered as agents who realize and/or create economic opportunities and develop new goals and strategies. Businesses are not viewed as independent entities, but as actors whose actions are embedded in structures of ongoing relations. As such, similar resources and activities based in rural tourism destinations do not necessarily have the same consequences at different times and places. Business networking is a crucial factor in organizing activities and resources at the local level, leading to spatially different levels of integration. Such differences are focused on here, using illustrative examples and findings from the case-study regions in the UK, Spain and Greece.

Tourism: A Critical Business

A research and practice gap is identified demonstrating tourism to be an insufficiently critical business. Initially the idea of critical tourism is addressed in two ways. First, an array of meanings is exposed from which the idea of critical theory is developed. Next, discussion turns to how critical approaches can contribute to good management and governance of tourism by providing understandings that technical rationality can overlook. Finally, the limited extent of critical tourism research is established. The article concludes that tourism should be a critical business and offers pointers for such an agenda. For although positivist research informed by technical rationality is crucial to the better operational management of tourism, critical research is essential for setting an agenda for ethical management, governance and coexistence with the wider world. Indeed it is critical to deep, long-term sustainability and even the survival of tourism.
