The small enterprises have supported a tradition of maintenance of amateur
personnel in management, which only the big unities started to change. The qualified
personnel and trained professionals, and most of all those with experience in other
industries, are an unusual thing outside the big firms. These lead to a lack of complexity
of the politics and practices of human resources, which are dominated by unusual styles
of management and approaches of the operational circumstances. This makes tourism
vulnerable to the ideas, the assumptions and its domination by the practices of
management identified in other economic sectors.
