4. Summary and conclusion
The conceptual contribution of chaos theory is that it
takes into account the fact that the whole is greater than
the sum of the parts and that systems and organizations are
dynamic and complex. It is also noted that complexity
requires scale. Scale is here present by reason of the history
being explored (i.e. time is a variable) and the numbers of
regional tourism organizations within a country. Yet
complexity can be perceived within a single organization,
and, from a scientific perspective, within the dripping from
a tap as sudden changes in the speed of a drip can occur. It
was noted that chaos does not imply a complete lack of
order.
