In many cases, the supply chains that furnish the interiors and feed the guests originate in different countries, or even continents, before they are stored together at a regional distribution hub for delivery to the destinations. Although these international tourism businesses are vital for many small states’ and SIDS’ tourism industries, the only significant benefit may be import taxes, and possibly some engagement with local distribution networks if these exist. The latter is the factor that enables there to be an efficient and effective flow of information one way and flow of materials the other, without this relationship, the flow is disrupted and the entire supply chain becomes dysfunctional.
