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.

Fußnoten
1
In addition to those listed in this section, we also recall the “New-Marxist” interpretation, which argues that a firm exists to pursue the objective of capturing surplus value by exploiting workers through a hierarchical structure, as well as the “New-Hobbesian” interpretation, which claims that a firm is created in order to compensate and control for the human tendency ”to do evil.”
 
2
Recalling Sect.​ 4.​3.​1, the holiday can be considered as a “permission” to stay granted by each firm offering the goods and services needed in order to stay overnight in the destination. We already demonstrated that a coordination activity can be successfully used to solve the failure in the supply of services when it involves too many property rights in the destination.
 
3
We refer to Sect.​ 11.​1 for a definition of complete and incomplete contracts.
 
4
See Sect.​ 11.​6 for a more in-depth discussion of this issue, with reference to the relationship between tour operators and tourism firms.
 
5
There are different statistical techniques that can be used to analyze seasonality, and the approach we follow is the “mainstream” model. However, other more sophisticated methods can be used, see for example Bar-On, 1989 and the special issue (n.1, 2007) of Economia dei Servizi.
 
6
For comparative studies on seasonality indices, see Wanhill (1980) and Baum and Lundtrop (2001). Works that use different indicators and seasonality methods are Marcoullier (1996), Wilton and Wirjanto (1998), Dillon (2000), Rosselló Nadal et al. (2004), and De Cantis et al. (2011).
 
7
Moreover, also destinations are affected by climate changes (like the global warming), having the opportunity to lengthen, or being forced to shorten the tourism season, respectively in the case of beach-oriented and ski-oriented tourism (Agnew and Viner 2001).
 
8
For a discussion of the seasonality losses see Sutcliffe and Sinclair (1980), Manning and Powers (1984), and William and Shaw (1991).
 
9
A recent report on the role of technology in tourism and its growing importance is in UNWTO (2011b).
 
10
For a comprehensive review of studies on Internet applications to tourism and their implications on tourism management, see Buhalis and Law (2008).
