Abstract
The tourism supply chain can be defined as “a network of tourism organizations engaged in different activities ranging from the supply side to the distribution and marketing of the final tourism product; it involves a wide range of participants in both the private and public sectors” (Zhang et al., 2009: 345). Hotels, restaurants, cafes and other hospitality-related companies are at the heart of this network of tourism organizations. Vujoševic (2004) and Quah and Zulkifli (2011) show that taking small steps in any area of the supply chain can have large effects within the company and can have a positive impact on the competitive advantage of the company. Management of this supply chain and, within it, transport and logistics management are therefore also named as the areas where efficacy and effectiveness of economic systems can be achieved. The logistic supply chain can be seen as a system of links between partners who are all part of the distribution channel that supplies buyers and consumers with products and materials.
