The tourism sector - already one of the fastest growing industries
in the world - is currently undergoing extensive change thanks to
strong market growth and a transition to more experience-based
products. The capacity for firms to innovate and adapt to market
developments is crucial to their success, but research-based
knowledge on innovation strategies in tourism remains scarce. This
pioneering Handbook offers timely, original research on innovation
within the tourism industry from a number of interdisciplinary and
global perspectives.The expert contributors adapt theories and
models drawn from the mainstream innovation literature and
supplement them with analytical strategies specific to the tourism
industry. Major themes include forms and sources of innovation in
tourism, innovation processes at both firm and destination levels,
and the ways in which innovation is defined and measured.
Individual chapters cover specific issues such as gendering
processes, user-based innovation, enhanced experience value,
causation and effectuation strategies, and alternative business
models. Students, professors and researchers of innovation,
entrepreneurship, and tourism studies will find this book an
invaluable resource. Contributors: B. Abelsen, G.A. Alsos, T.
