Abstract: This paper examines the influence of the type of geographical location on the characteristics of innovation networks in the tourism industry, specifically in mountain resorts. It compares the innovation network forms of two types of mountain resorts (high-altitude and medium-altitude resorts) regarding four characteristics: the nature of the relationships between members, the mode of regulation used, the architecture, and the geographical scope. Our results show that according to the type of territory, innovation networks differ in type of partners, geographical scope, and regulation mode. However, the type of territory does not seem to influence the architecture of the network since all the networks studied have a hub organization that orchestrates the partners' actions.
