As such, sustainable management of this chain is becoming a key concern. This book is a valuable source of up-to-date information on sustainable tourism operations and performance, assisting practitioners and policymakers in case analysis and strategic planning.

Fierce global competition in the tourism industry is now focused on integral parts of supply chains rather than on individual firms. The highly competitive environment has forced tourism firms to look for ways to enhance their competitive advantage. Tourism products are often viewed by consumers as a value-added chain of different service components and identifying ways to effectively manage the interrelated tourism business operations will enable tourism firms to better meet customer needs and accomplish business goals thus maintaining competitive advantage over their equally efficient rivals. This significant and timely volume is the first to apply supply chain management theories and practices in the context of tourism. By doing so the book offers insight into the relationships between tourism enterprises, how coordination across organizations can be effectively achieved and how business performance can be improved. It provides comprehensive and systematic coverage of modern supply chain management concepts and methodologies applied to the tourism and hospitality industries. The text covers key issues and principles including: marketing and product development, demand forecasting, supplier selection and management, distribution channels, capacity management, customer relationship management, tourism supply chain competition and coordination, and e-tourism. The book combines essential theory and comparative international examples based on primary research to show challenges and opportunities of effective tourism supply chain management. This text is essential for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Tourism Management, Tourism Planning and Tourism Economics.

Environmental awareness is growing worldwide. Building green supply-chain management has become a major challenge for corporations as they strive to contribute to sustainable societies. Meanwhile, supply chain management has recently become a new research topic in tourism studies. This study proposed integrating the balanced score card (BSC), a widely used strategic tool, with the analytic network process (ANP) model to develop tourism green supply chain management (TGSCM) indicators. The results indicated that current market dynamics and growth potential can be understood through the TGSCM. Selecting key factors using the BSC can help identify the balance point between a company's revenues and its responsibility for environmental protection, thus enabling a unique tourism operations model by which companies can profit while protecting the environment.
