| Abstract: | As stressed by the literature on technological change, not only production and logistics activities take place along supply chains, but also innovation processes. It is then surprising that in the extensive research field of socio-technical transitions, the supply chain – and its actors – are seldom considered as a key point of the analysis. This paper aims at filling this gap of the literature by showing that the understanding of the on-going reorganization of supply chains – and the possible conflicts between actors it brings along – is a key to envisage socio-technical transitions and scenarios. A specific attention is given to conflicts between new entrants, that bring along a disrupting innovation, and dominant incumbents that resist to change. Tourism is proposed as a reference case just because the on-going radical change of its supply chain of vertically interrelated industries is currently led by a bunch of internet-based new entrants. Direct interviews to tourism experts and operators are used to build and evaluate three alternative socio-technical scenarios of tourism. Tourism scenarios do not emerge from the different use of the Web, but from a different reorganization of the tourism supply chain, each being led by different actors. Under this light that reorganization of the tourism supply chain is not just one of the effects of the increasing relevance of the Web in tourism, but it is the innovation. This consideration may be relevant for all other sectors whose supply chain is currently disrupted by new entrants that bring along an emerging technology. |

| Abstract: | Objective – This paper examines the performance of the Bali & Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF) 2018, an event whereby buyers and sellers meet to negotiate on travel and tourism businesses at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Centre (BNDCC). The study also explains the marketing strategies being used, through the perspective of the 7 Ps. Furthermore, the paper presents an authentic account of how marketing and tourism services (tour events) are actually initiated and performed. Methodology/Technique – The data of the study is in the form of travel business correspondences, tour itineraries, the circular event of the travel fair, in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and the writer's observational notes. The analysis was conducted by applying a descriptive qualitative research, focusing on the 7 Ps of marketing strategy. Findings – The study reveals that the travel fair plays an important role in attracting buyers to purchase products offered. Novelty – The study shows that sellers must use events such as this as a marketing model and a powerful tool when reviewing strategic options and selecting the best future direction of their company.
