An analysis of children’s play in resort mini-clubs: Potential strategic implications for the hospitality and tourism industry
Children are important stakeholders of the tourism and leisure industry because, similarly to their parents, they are consumers and active decision-makers. As children are important for the tourism and leisure industry, the way their needs of having fun are met, through play and children activities, becomes paramount. Using a multi-case and content analysis research approach, this paper examines the current practices used by resort mini clubs in …

The study suggests that a two-step strategy needs to be implemented by leisure organisations, namely an increased complexity strategy and an increased divergence strategy, which would…

Mauritius Island has not lagged behind in adopting this trend. Studies show th…
