Abstract: | This paper examines empirically how multi-party networks can strive towards sustainable development. It investigates eight tourism networks in four European countries. All networks cross the private-public-sector borders involving business enterprises, authorities and, occasionally, citizen groups. Some networks focus on environmental sustainability, whereas for others sociocultural aspects of sustainability are more central. A special emphasis is laid on the SME perspective of these networks. The paper identifies a number of barriers and success factors of multi-party sustainability networks. |
