Two additional kinds of control are suggested.

Secondly, we plan the foreign direct investment of the country as created by four other drivers: qualitative research, competitive education, strengthening the institutions and product development.

These eight engines combine to integrate new theoretical trends on topics like global emerging markets, innovation in tourism and cross-border acquisitions. In the spirit of encouraging more work on domestic eects that will guarantee ACYgreater understanding we also address other home-country’s concerns such as strategic tourism management and related structures.
