“…As tourism success is now more about delivering experiences than delivering tourism products, the need for cooperation and the development of "thick" relationships and strong social capital in communities is cited as essential for tourism innovation and success (Dredge & Jenkins, 2003;Najda-Janoszka & Kopera, 2014;Divisekera & Nguyen, 2018). These characteristics present unique challenges for regional communities attempting to engage with tourism as a driver for economic growth.…”

Regional and remote tourism in Australia is characterised by micro-, smalland medium-sized businesses, spatially dispersed and fragmented. Characteristics which present unique challenges for these communities attempting to develop tourism as a way of diversifying their economy. This study explored the views and experiences from residents and businesses in six remote local government areas in South Western Queensland to identify the barriers and enablers for remote communities to using tourism as a driver of economic and social-cultural growth. We found a lack of understanding of the structure and behaviour of the tourism industry; a lack of business acumen; a lack of financial and human resources; and a reluctance to collaborate by tourism businesses to be barriers to tourism-led economic growth. Enablers to tourism led growth included: local government support for tourism development; a sound understanding of the mechanics and structure of the tourism industry; and the capacity to engage in marketing that captured and narrated the visitor experience in digital channels.

“…This resistance can be decreased through guarantees or compensation given to employees before the introduction of an innovation or by a reduction of the costs related to innovation (Zwick, 2002). The latest studies show that when conceived ideas are put into practice, the factors that hinder businesses are the lack of capacity in terms of internal efficiency and technical support and the lack of ability of workers (Najda-Janoszha and Kopera, 2014;Meijer, 2015;Song and Oh, 2015;Yu et al, 2015).…”

This paper aims to identify and analyze the main limiting factors of innovation performance in terms of product and process innovation. The limiting factors to innovation make the innovation process of a firm difficult, which influences its innovation performance. The goal of this essay is to develop a theoretical support based on current reference approaches, corroborated by empirical support, which allows for the identification and analysis of the factors that restrict innovation activity and innovation performance.The database is extracted from the Community Innovation Survey -CIS 2010, which was conducted under the responsibility of the Office of Planning, Strategy, Evaluation and International Relations/Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (GPEARI/MCTES), in collaboration with the National Statistics Institute (INE), under the supervision of EUROSTAT. We have developed a logistic regression model that highlights the barriers to innovation and identifies the factors that limit innovation performance. The analysis suggests that several barriers to innovation influence the Innovative performance of Portuguese firms. These results may be attributed to the fact that perceived barriers stimulate the firm to overcome these difficulties, which promotes the internal propensity to innovate. The most significant barriers identified in the study are the following: high innovation costs and perceived uncertainties in both the demand and market for new goods and services. This study shows that firms that do not have either qualified personnel to carry out innovation activities or sufficient market information are less likely to innovate than firms that do not experience these difficulties.
