The leadership in profit today is a result of the flexibility, creativity and innovation of the strategy used, and in the opposition"all inclusive tourism -boutique tourist accommodation" the emphasis making a difference is not limited to prices,services, quality and number of tourists only. The essential difference consists in the clash of strategies with different philosophy and target audiences-diversification,differentiation and cost leadership applied by the all-inclusive-tourism strategy as opposed to the strategy of focusing which is typical of boutique hotels and destinations. Despite the different strategic approaches, the goal is one and the same -leadership in terms of generated profits.
