Hospitality business in Curitiba City (Parana State, Brazil) turned to be a good investment for national and international hotel chains due to the settlement of assembly industries as well as several multinational companies in the dwellings, which increased demand for hospitality services. This study sought to examine the inter-organizational relationships held by hospitality business companies in Curitiba. To achieve that goal semi-structured interviews with owners, directors and managers were conducted in two hotels belonging to locals, either persons or groups. Secondary data were collected in printed or on line newspapers and magazines. It was possible to note the absence of formal practices of alliances and partnerships between companies of the analyzed sector, which hinders the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage.Downloads
