This ground-breaking volume on the relationships between tourism and innovation provides an overview of relevant innovation theories and related literatures on entrepreneurship, productivity, regional development and competitiveness, and their significance to contemporary tourism practices. Innovation is a key concept in business and entrepreneurial studies and the broader social sciences. Yet, despite its policy and academic importance, historically little attention has been given to the role of innovation in tourism and the corresponding contribution of tourism-related human mobility to regional, firm, and product innovation. This book emphasises that innovation in tourism is much more than a series of technological innovations, as important as they are, and instead needs to be understood in an economic, social, and political context, with particular stress being placed on the extent to which innovations are shaped by the framework of governance and regulation, as well as by institutional factors and activities of individual actors and entrepreneurs. It is structured so as to introduce the reader to the overall significance of innovation at various levels and the role that innovation plays in firm and place competition. Supported with case studies throughout, this book is essential reading for all tourism students.

Tourism is often described as an industry with high growth rates, and it is subject to radical change in how it is produced and consumed. However, there is still a relatively poor understanding of how such changes are brought about – that is, through innovation. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive review of innovation in tourism, while also considering how tourism itself contributes to innovative local, regional and national development strategies. This timely book places tourism innovation in the context of current academic and policy concerns relating to knowledge, competition, and the management of change. A substantial introductory chapter provides an overview of what makes innovation in tourism both distinctive from, and similar to innovation in other economic sectors. This is followed by three general scene setting chapters which explore how competition and the search for competitiveness drive tourism innovation, how knowledge transfers and knowledge creation lead the process, and how institutions shape innovation. These provide a coherent theoretical framework for understanding the roles of different agencies in innovation, ranging from the state, to the firm, to the consumer. The next four chapters analyze innovation at different scales. Two chapters review the territorial dimensions of innovation through the fresh perspectives of the national and regional innovation systems, followed by reviews of the determinants of innovation in the firm, and the contested and complex role of entrepreneurship. The final chapter summarises the importance of understanding tourism innovation. This is a groundbreaking volume which provides an accessible introduction to a key but neglected topic. It provides a readable account of the multidisciplinary research on innovation and relates the emerging theoretical framework to tourism. A clear conceptual framework is complemented by fifty boxes which provide a range of illustrative international case studies. This book will be a useful guide for researchers and students of tourism studies, management and business and geography.

Dr Pechlaner and Dr Innerhofer, the editors of Competence-Based Innovation in Hospitality and Tourism, argue that the industry operates within highly challenging and competitive environments. Changing environmental and market conditions continually force hotel businesses and service providers to offer their customers new and modified products and services, in order to remain competitive; those which respect value perceptions of markets and sustainable stakeholder reactions. This then raises the question of how innovations within this industry must be developed in order to achieve competitive differentiation. The book demonstrates that the development and analysis of successful innovation strategies should integrate the resource-based view and its advancements, the competence-based view, as well as the dynamic capabilities approach and the relational view. Resource-based strategic management approaches view the firm as a bundle of resources and competences. They point to the importance of firm-specific resources and competences in explaining variations in competitive positions and performance differentiation between companies. The challenge of hospitality and tourism is to develop resources and competences that drive innovations. This book will serve to advance the status quo of tourism research literature by combining innovation theories with network theories and tourism and destination development, by illustrating the development of cooperative competences and innovations in tourism and by showing, in a tailored way, how the challenge of the development of resources and competences that drive innovations in tourism can be managed.

This book explores a wide range of emerging cultural, heritage, and other tourism issues that will shape the future of hospitality and tourism research and practice in the digital and innovation era. It offers stimulating new perspectives in the fields of tourism, travel, hospitality, culture and heritage, leisure, and sports within the context of a knowledge society and smart economy. A central theme is the need to adopt a more holistic approach to tourism development that is aligned with principles of sustainability; at the same time, the book critically reassesses the common emphasis on innovation as a tool for growth-led and market-oriented development. In turn, fresh approaches to innovation practices underpinned by ethics and sustainability are encouraged, and opportunities for the exploration of new research avenues and projects on innovation in tourism are highlighted. Based on the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference of the International Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism (IACuDiT) and edited in collaboration with IACuDiT, the book will appeal to a broad readership encompassing academia, industry, government, and other organizations.

We all know that tourism industry is a great entertaining industry. Many of us have gone on a tour at some point in our life and so we all have a rough picture of how entertaining as well as how intricate the tourism industry is. The word 'tourist' has been in existence since 1760. It is said that tourism began to be known officially on Jul 5, 1841 when Thomas Cook planned a trip from Market Harborough to Loughborough for a meeting. The first foreign trip made by Thomas Cook was a six-day stay in Paris in 1861. Tourism is a vast industry and though it seems to be a single industry, the tourism industry has many ancillary industries that support its growth. As a tourist one can understand the different touch points involved in tourism from the start of the tour to the end. Tourism industry is a very competitive industry and it needs to be constantly updated and changed according to the needs of the customers. There are two very important elements in the tourism industry. One is the direct element which comes into direct contact with tourists like sales, accommodation, transport and other ancillary services. Indirect elements are the support services which may not come into direct contact with the tourists but it is very hard for the industry to function without these services. For example Infrastructure, Roads, Airports, Communications, Public Toilets, Signs, Manufacturing, Electricity, Water supply and Sewerage and garbage disposal are all indirect elements in the tourism industry but very powerful.The tourism industry benefits both host and home countries. This is mainly observed in developing countries. Tourism is one of the world's most significant sources of economic outcomes and employment. This sector supports 292 million people in employment which is 1 in 10 jobs on the planet. For many countries, such as the Bahamas and other island economies, it is the main source of income and employment. The Travel & Tourism sector contributes a larger share to the GDP. It accounts for 10.2% of the world's GDP. For countries like UK, it is worth more than £120 billion a year. Travel & Tourism industry not only outpaced the wider economy, but also grew faster than other significant industries such as financial and business services, retail and distribution, public services, transport and manufacturing.Tourism is all set to grow more than ever by the year 2030. In the year 2030, most of the tourist population is expected to be in Europe than anywhere in the world. While travel to Africa, the Middle East and the Americas also does increase, Europe sees a great rise in number. If tourism is managed well it will bring positive changes in the socio, cultural, economical, environmental and political development of the destinations and as such represents a significant development opportunity for many countries and communities. The tourism industry will continue to remain in the forefront of wealth and employment creation. Even with numerous challenges arising, the future of tourism looks extremely favorable and expected to grow at a rate of 3.9% annually. It is anticipated that by year 2026, tourism industry could support 370 million jobs and $11 trillion in GDP.This book will help in understanding more about the tourism industry and the various benefits it provides to the developed and developing countries. The book also talks about the various types of tourism and how marketing and branding techniques are applied to develop the tourism sector. The book will take you on a short tour to various tourist destinations and will teach the importance of preserving the tourist spots.
