Family Businesses In Tourism And Hospitality

This book provides a comprehensive collection of new insights into traditional paradigms, approaches, and methods, as well as more recent developments in issues related to family businesses in tourism and hospitality. The aim of the chapters is to verify whether, in the tourism industry, the “family business model” is an important development opportunity and, in particular, if it is an innovation driver, for this industry development. In this context, the authors contribute chapters from a diverse set of countries to investigate personal and family needs and preferences alongside the relationship between family business model, growth and profit maximization, and the development of tourism businesses through innovation drivers. SME competency, the impact of COVID-19 on performance and marketing, and policy improvements are also discussed in this volume.
