Description
"This thesis examines the networking activities that underpin the facilitation and development of Aboriginal tourism in remote regions of Australia at the level of the enterprise. The research draws on the expertise and knowledge of two Aboriginal tourism enterprises, investigating the nature of business networks for Aboriginal tourism enterprises in remote Australia. The research explores the kinds of networks used by small remote Aboriginal tourism enterprises, and in what ways the networks contribute to the resilience of the enterprises. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, consistent with a shift towards interpretive approaches within tourism scholarship." - Abstract,
