Horizontal and Vertical Integration in the Tourism Sector

Abstract

[eng] This study will describe the investigation of both vertical and horizontal integration techniques in different sectors, with a special emphasis on the travel and tourism sector. It explores the use of both ideas in tourism, defines them, and lists the markets in which they are most common. We will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these integrations, examining how the regulatory environment and public opinion have shaped these practices. Real-world examples provide tangible insights into their implementation. The text concludes with a consideration of these methods' wider implications for market competition and innovation, supported by an extensive bibliography for further reading.
