What is it about?

- How can collaboration in tourism partnerships be supported? - We present a qualitative case analysis, mapping success factors in a North-Eastern Europe context (Estonia). - If the partnership exists in multiple timelines, its life cycle follows a more circular than cyclical form. - Community-initiated partnerships are evolving and adapting platforms where new partnership forms emerge, creating social and economic benefits for stakeholders.

Why is it important?

- Research is scarce on tourism collaboration in Eastern Europe.

Perspectives

It has been fun to write this piece with our PhD student and other colleagues. Hopefully the paper will add more insights into how tourism partnerships can be sustained, especially in Eastern European socio-cultural contexts.
