The flowchart presents the concept of economic linkages. At the top, it emphasizes key determinants of weaker linkages, branching down into contextual differentiation that divides developed and developing economies. Below this, methodological differentiation leads to an empirical research focus, which then connects to tourism-local workforce linkages. Further down, documented policy and practice interventions are identified, which culminate in research gaps identification. Finally, the flowchart concludes with theoretical and practical implications. Structural determinants, listed in a box, include demand-side, supply-side, and market-related factors, and the flow of ideas is structured top to bottom.Publication timeline
