TL;DR: In this article, the core principles of evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and how they relate to tourism studies are presented and a selection of new research paths combining EEG and tourism studies is highlighted together with a number of latent research synergies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal pricing strategy for tourism hotels when they operate their online distribution channel by cooperating with a third party website was found, and the first best solution was given when all the participants were integrated as a single system, and then the second best one under the decentralized scenario through a noncooperative game model composed by a Stackelberg game between the hotels and the website and a Nash game among the hotels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify determinants of cooperation in tourism under Polish conditions and present how these determinants might impact this cooperation and find that certain determinants are hindering rather than fostering stakeholder cooperation in a tourist region.
