and tourism & hospitality industry are considered to be the findings ways. It is able to work
together for the providing the invitation that is considered to be highly desirable for the travel

collaborative competitors is considered to be simply undertaking the creation of the strategic
alliances. This is very will be considered to be the effort that is able to put together the plans
needed for improving the geographical locations.

develop a common communication that is essential for the establishment of comfortable
direction and ultimate final product.

tourism approach has been selected (Soulard and et.al., 2018). This location has now been
considered to be a wonder place for tourism.
Following are the ways in which this location was able to benefit from the collaborative
tourism approach,

working in collaboration. This increase in the work culture brings growth to the economy as
more people from the economy are involved. This is considered to be the key part of the growth
that the approach to collaborative work would offer. Due to the increase in the economic benefit
of the tourism of the organization also increases.

performance. Further more, the Lack of proper technology is the major factor that is impacts the
distribution of benefits in the collaborative organizations.
