Abstract

In the tourism sector can be established associative forms that include organizations: tour operators, travel agencies/tourism guides, local and national authorities, suppliers of the tourism industry, leisure and entertainment industry, transportation companies, Universities, training institutes, another organizations that can collaborate and compete well for competitive advantage. The tourism cluster consists of a group of tourist attractions, businesses, and institutions directly or indirectly involved in tourism concentrated in a particular area. This paper addresses a strategic model for developing tourism cluster that is different from traditional models and highlights the effects on competitiveness clusters, considering three essential aspects: the role of transnational corporations and foreign direct investment in tourism cluster development; interconnection between cluster actors, and the separation between cluster actors and conditions of the business sector. The approach extends classical tourism cluster influenced by the "home-based environment" to globally, with effects on competitiveness and global socio-economic prosperity.
