Abstract
In the last decades innovation in the tourism industry used to be a rather underresearched field. Today, it has become the centre of attention of tourism research focussing on different aspects (e.g. Keller 2005a, Zeng 2010, Hjalager & Nordin 2011). Tourism innovation research has been conducted for the accommodation sector (Volo 2004, Pikkemaat & Peters 2005, Sundbo et al. 2006, Ottenbacher 2007, Martinez-Ros & Orfila-Sintes 2009, Orfila Sintes & Mattsson 2009) as well as on the tourism destination level (Flagestad et al. 2005, Pechlaner et al. 2006, Pikkemaat & Weiermair 2007, Paget et al. 2010, Raich & Zehrer 2013). Furthermore and to a less extent research has analyzed tourism innovation policy (Keller 2005b, Keller 2006a, Keller 2006b, Smeral 2005, Svensson et al. 2005, Pikkemaat & Peters 2014, Lun et al. 2014).
