This study shows that regional tourism development is normally expressed in economic terms, as the value of that region. This development depends on social, political and cultural aspects to be a tool of successful regional development, but for this to take place, it is necessary to form alliances in this specific sector.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The study contributes to advancing theory in the field of strategic alliances. More precisely, this study is associated with the creation of a theoretical framework that shows the reasons and influencing factors (of structure and process) in alliance formation in the hospitality industry. This framework can help the different managers and other actors involved in alliances in the hotel segment, in their strategic decision-making processes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/bjm-03-2013-0042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,8]],"date-time":"2013-10-08T08:39:30Z","timestamp":1381221570000},"page":"438-462","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Exploring the reasons and factors influencing the formation and development of alliances in the hospitality industry"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Franco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Carla","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Anderson, E. and Weitz, B.
