Tourism is a central part of regional development strategies in
many localities around Europe, not just in traditional coastal or
mountain resorts but also in areas without a strong track record
with regard to visitor economy. In a globalising world,
destinations can no longer take their traditional visitors for
granted and escape growing competitive pressures, because
increasingly experienced, specialised and demanding travellers now
have a vastly greater number of potential destinations to choose
from. Both well-established and emerging tourist destinations are
therefore under pressure to be innovative to increase their
attractiveness in the globalising visitor economy. This book
focuses on the role played by tourist destinations - conceived as
multi-layered and functional governance structures - in stimulating
or complicating the development of new tourist experiences. The
complex relationship between firm-level and territorial development
dynamics is, of course, by no means confined to tourism
development, and the book will therefore be of a more general
relevance for research into innovation and spatial development
dynamics. This book was published as a special issue of European
Planning Studies.
