| Abstract: | A suitable base for supply chain management (SCM) is provided by tourism destinations in Finnish Lapland. Often, the investments in these destinations are directed to wilderness areas without significant initial infrastructure. Hence, the surroundings provide better possibilities to build and direct the experiences of tourists in contrast to city tourism. This paper applies an SCM framework to the Levi Fell resort in Northern Finland. By identifying some special characteristics of tourism destinations and region-based tourism production, the traditional SCM framework in the context of tourism is further developed. |
