“…In relation to types of innovation by location across the international and South African experience it is confirmed that innovation in rural areas often is closely related to agro-tourism like wine tourism (Bruwer, 2003;Ferreira, Muller, 2013;Hall, Baird, 2014;Rogerson, Rogerson, 2014b), craft beer tourism (Alonso, 2011;Rogerson, Collins, 2015) or nature-based activities (Carson et al, 2014;Hjalager, 2010Hjalager, , 2014. In addition, a creative tourism innovation network is observed in Cape Town which contributes to local and international discourses on urban creativity, innovation and tourism (cf.…”

Abstract. This paper interrogates the geography of tourism innovation in the Western Cape, South Africa. In particular, innovations by tourism firms are mapped and local tourism innovation networks are analysed. Networking behaviour is examined since it is regarded as indispensable for accessing knowledge and learning for innovation purposes. The analysis draws on a broader investigation of tourism innovation and networking within the Western Cape province. It is revealed that the main tourist regions in the Western Cape are also the most innovative. Whilst external networking relations are observed to be highly significant for tourism innovation, local embeddedness remains critical for stimulating path creation and exploiting local core competencies for the competitiveness and survival of tourism firms and destinations.

“…An exception is food and tourism policies studies, which appear to adopt a national approach (such as Everett & Slocum, 2013;Hjalager & Corigliano, 2000). Similarly, regarding wine tourism studies, many seem to concentrate on specific routes such as wine routes (Bruwer, 2003;Telfer, 2001aTelfer, , 2001b. Evidently, the development of both food and wine routes has become popular due to the recognition of food experiences.…”

Food and culinary routes have been embraced by many destinations (Hjalager & Corigliano, 2000). However, these routes often include narrow geographical areas. The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges and possibilities of networking and collaboration in a food tourism project in a larger geographic area, specifically the Taste of National Tourist Routes (TNTR) in Norway. Although contacts among business operators and participants have been established, different priorities and dissatisfaction among participants suggest that building relationships and sharing knowledge as part of networking and collaboration is difficult. A lack of willingness, involvement and trust are critical factors that affect the success of a well-intentioned network-based food tourism project. Additionally, internal conflicts between government ministries and agencies may also impede the success of a project of this scale. Nevertheless, the outcomes are not solely negative, as the establishment of initial contacts may eventually lead to formal collaborative opportunities and food tourism developments in the future.

“…For example, many smaller wineries heavily depend on direct sales to winery visitors (Barber et al, 2008;Bruwer, 2003;Wade & Pun, 2009). Other wineries, often larger ones, appear to be rather uninterested in wine tourism (Getz & Brown, 2006); for example, some wineries consider winery visitors as a significant disturbance of their core business, which is producing and selling high-quality wine (Alonso, Sheridan, & Scherrer, 2008;Beverland, 1998;Fraser & Alonso, 2006).…”

ABSTRACT. As involvement with wine may vary significantly among wine consumers and wine tourists, segmentation based on product involvement seems to be a reasonable choice. A multinational sample of 517 winery visitors is divided into three groups of low, medium, and high involvement levels; similarities and differences are examined. Results confirm that it is meaningful to segment winery visitors on the basis of their involvement with wine, as important differences can be identified in terms of visitation motives and patterns, demographic characteristics, relationship with wine, previsit attitudes towards the winery, evaluation of the winery experience, post-visit attitudes, and future behavioral intentions. Management and marketing implications are discussed.
