Together, we can help tourism professionals and community leaders take advantage of emerging opportunities, manage risks and grow the industry. Outsider assistance can have a substantial impact on new venture start-up, survival, and performance (Christman & Katrishen, 1994; Nahavandi & Chesteen, 1988; Robinson, 1982).
