Tourism cluster: concepts, characteristics and models of analysis

Abstract

This study aims to establish a conceptual foundation while providing practical examples of clustering within the tourism domain. It delves into analytical perspectives, focusing on regional networks that, through strategic governance, foster collaborative initiatives and local development. Clusters represent geographic concentrations of enterprises and other stakeholders operating within the same sector. These entities collaborate and compete, harnessing collective efficiencies to gain competitive advantages. Due to its association with local roots and collaborative efforts, the cluster concept aligns with the tourism sector. The emergence of tourism clusters signifies a progressive trend that drives regional growth.
