Handbook of Research on Innovation in Tourism Industries

Edited by Gry Agnete Alsos, Dorthe Eide and Einar Lier Madsen

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: 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.
