Abstract

How to reveal throughout a quantitative survey of the websites the cooperation development of a tourism destination' The analysis of the links among the tourist websites of a destination allows it. The website network of a tourism destination is examined and the main statistical characteristics of the underlying graph are calculated. The general topology of the network is similar to the one characterizing such systems. However, differences are found, mainly due to the relatively poor connectivity among the vertices of the network. These results are discussed and interpreted. Moreover, the usage of quantitative network parameters is shown to be able to measure the degree of collaboration and cooperation among the destination stakeholders and their tendency to act in such a way.
