Abstract

The study of network representations of physical, biological, and social phenomena has developed rapidly in recent years. The body of knowledge accumulated on the structure and the dynamics of complex networks has offered useful insights on the behavior of many natural and artificial complex systems The paper examines the work done by considering tourism destinations as networks of interconnected organizations. The nature of these networks, both from a structural and dynamic point of view is described and the outcomes of these investigations are presented. The general theoretical framework is described and the implications of this analysis for destination management are discussed.
