Abstract
In order to increase organizational effectiveness, the small and medium-sized tourism enterprises
(SMTE) managers have to scan tourism environment to identify strategy alternatives for organization market
positioning. Tourism environment is characterized with instability, variability and complexity. These environment indicators have huge influence on the SMTE and have to be addressed by managers. The size of
SMTE and personalized services they are providing it are making them vulnerable to concurrent market attacks.
For large companies in tourism is easier to raise productivity levels; the standardized products are providing opportunity for economies of scale, low costs and high profit margins. SMTE network is creating individual and unique tourism product within overall destination package. With this king of cooperation at the destination level, SMTE are positioning themselves on the market, without losing their unique. In the entrepreneurial economy, public sector policies are focused towards decentralization an support of regional activities. There are some specific strategies which can be implemented at a sectoral and destination level in order SMTE to improve their market position. Some of them are tourism clusters formation, supporting SMTE market linkages, cooperation and networking, institutional support for entrepreneurship, and business incubators establishing. Part of the strategies are in the public sector domain (tourism clusters formation, institutional support for entrepreneurship, and business incubators establishing), the rest are implemented by SMTE itself (supporting SMTE market linkages, cooperation and networking).
Key words: Tourism environment, Entrepreneurship, Small and medium-sized tourism enterprises
