Business and Management

tourism supply chain

tourism value chain

value ecology

tourism value ecology

business ecosystem

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework for a wider Tourism Value Ecology (TVE) consisting of intermediaries, industry partners, and also various stakeholders to extend and/or modify the critical factors in a TVE. Design/methodology/approach - This is a conceptual paper using a thorough literature review approach, culminating in an overview of the managerial issues involved in a tourism value ecology. Findings - The first contribution of our research is a comprehensive study of the role of a TSC/TVC within a destination as embedded in a TVE. A second contribution is the development of a future cross-disciplinary research framework for TVE by synthesising and highlighting the critical issues at play when conceptualising a broad value ecology. Finally, the critical issues identified in this work may help contribute to the development of TVE theory by refining and extending these issues into future theoretical models that can be validated. Originality/value - This study advances our understanding of how tourism supply chains are evolving into tourism value ecologies or business ecosystems.
