| Abstract: | Rapid growth of tourism to developing countries has led to new international expectations for tourism as an agent of socioeconomic development. This paper shows that structured and business practice issues, especially local economic linkages in the supply chain , need to be addressed if the tourism industry is to contribute effectively to meeting new expectations of its role in socio-economic development in developing countries. |
