Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates patterns of coopetition in a merged tourism destination in North Denmark, where three towns are in focus. This is done using a mixed-method synergistic social network analysis (SSNA) to measure tourism actor network characteristics and qualitatively analyse informal network coopetition within and between towns. The findings show that coopetition takes place on two levels, and the patterns are defined as passive, reactive, and proactive. The actors in the three towns show different motivations to engage in coopetitive relationships, co-location being an important factor. Recommendations to support coopetition in new merging destinations are provided.
期刊介绍:
Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism is the leading Nordic journal for hospitality and tourism research. SJHT aims at initiating and stimulating high-impact and innovative research relevant for academics and practitioners within the hospitality and tourism industries. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach including, but not limited to geography, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics. SJHT encourages research based on a variety of methods, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The journal covers all types of articles relevant to the Nordic region, as well as the North Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic regions. We also welcome reviews and conceptual articles with a broader geographical scope that clearly enhance the theoretical development of the hospitality and tourism field. In addition to research articles, we welcome research notes and book reviews. Published articles are the result of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editors for their specialist knowledge.
