“…Sundbo et al [29], Hall and Williams [10] and Williams [21] claim that apart from different research approaches to innovation, one of the least recognised is the analysis of innovation from the point of view of a tourism region. The importance of the undertaken research is also confirmed by the fact that innovation is necessary to maintain a competitive position of the tourism region [10,22,23], it determines the competitiveness of a tourism region [30] and is also necessary for catching up from the perspective of less developed regions that have tourist goods on which tourism can develop [26,2,23]. The region's high competitive position and highly innovative environment are of particular benefit to small-and medium-sized enterprises, which, due to scant financial resources, have limited possibilities to implement innovations.…”

“…The research is aimed at identifying categories of innovations being implemented, types of implemented innovations [7] and innovative tourist products [8,9]. Researchers are trying to identify innovation systems used in the process of innovation implementation [10], factors of innovative activity influencing the undertaking of innovative actions by tourism enterprises [9], including the impact of the use of ICT technology [11], communication, and management [12], cooperation [13,14,15], networking [16,17] as well as the impact of being a member of a tourism cluster [18,19,20]. This research contributes to a better understanding of the unique characteristics associated with innovation in tourism services.…”

The objective of this paper is to identify the entities responsible for creating the environment of aninnovative tourism region and to identify the activities that create it. The expert method was used in the paper.Pilot studies were conducted in November 2017, basic studies were conducted in May and June 2018, as well asin June 2019. The research tool was a questionnaire. The CAWI technique was used. The results were subject tostatistical calculations. The empirical results show that four categories of factors determine the innovativepotential of the tourism region, these are: knowledge, services market, policy, as well as the management systemand civil society. The most important factors are the policy and management, as well as scientific institutions.The task Policy and Management include: availability of non-repayable funds in the tourism sector and themanagement system, as well as creating the image and brand of the tourist reception area. The basic activities ofscientific institutions include the availability of scientific and technical knowledge and researching tourists’expectations. Originality/value of the research: The added value of the research results is the hierarchization ofentities operating in the tourist region due to their importance in the innovation process of the tourist region. Itwas identified that science and technology parks should play a leading role in the process of the development ofinnovation in a tourist region. Their most important tasks were identified as: availability of scientific and technicalknowledge, and researching tourists' expectations. Scientific activities should be supported by a highly developedinformation system, primarily in the area of tracking the innovation market and the availability of information onthe latest innovations. Research has shown that non-repayable financial programmes play an important role inthe innovation process of the tourist regions in Poland. From the scientific point of view, the research contributesto the further in-depth analysis of the innovativeness of a tourism region and the creation of the theoretical conceptof the tourism region innovation model. From a practical point of view, the results of the research can help todevelop programmes and strategies aimed at increasing the innovative potential of the tourism region.

“…They are seen as drivers of economic development, which offer an opportunity for individual companies to remain competitive [13]. With regard to tourism, innovations are acknowledged to be a driving force for the entire tourism industry, especially in times of a crisis [14,15]. Though, the degree of change an innovation can bring largely depends on the type of engaged transformational processes [16].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has led the tourist industry to a standstill. It also creates the potential to change both the global tourism industry and the context in which innovation management takes place in the medium to long term. The web-based open innovation approach provides one of the possibilities to uncover technical opportunities in the context of rapidly changing environment. This article takes a qualitative approach to explore the benefits of open innovation approach for destination management organizations (DMOs). The analysis of 15 semi-structured interviews reveals nine specific benefits that arise from the three types of open innovation. The findings deepen an understanding of the potential that the open innovation approach offers for DMOs. The study further creates a background to collaborative tourist recovery COVID-19 pandemic through smart destination ecosystems.

“…Crowdfunding can be defined as financing by "founders of for-profit, artistic, and cultural ventures to fund their efforts by drawing on relatively small contributions from a relatively large number of individuals using the Internet, without standard financial intermediaries" [24] (p. 1). Since tourism is a partially-industrialized sector without a standard industrial classification, analysis of the sector and cognate fields, such as cultural services, is often captured under the term "visitor economy" [25,26]. The visitor economy is often conceptualized as "the hospitality and tourism sector (food and drink provision via cafes, restaurants and accommodation), travel agencies, transport providers, cultural activities like galleries, events and retailing" [27] (p. 111) and also extends into "sports, creative media, arts, and culture" [1] (p. 1).…”

“…In the context of tourism, businesses interested in providing a high value tourism experience benefit from significant co-creation with travel consumers [4]. The development and adoption of information and communication technology has had a profound impact on the tourism industry [26]. Operators have been found to achieve superior performance in terms of synergy with other members of the network, value co-creation, and information technology readiness [2].…”

Crowdfunding is an emerging means for financing by small and medium-sized enterprises or individuals to attract capital from investors who look to obtain products, services, and/or equity in the future. Co-creation in crowdfunding projects substantially influences sponsors’ behavior, playing a critical role in crowdfunding performance. Despite the significance of co-creation in crowdfunding, research from the leisure and tourism fields has been largely neglected in terms of theory-based models of co-creation. To address this gap, the goal of this work is to study the effects of co-creation on the extended model of goal-directed behavior, along with the moderator of crowdfunding types. To do this, an online survey was conducted on crowdfunders in South Korea and partial least squares (PLS)-structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze the collected data. Results reveal that co-creation considerably leads to attitude towards, as well as behavior in relation to, crowdfunding participation. Funders’ attitude and positive and negative anticipated emotion also significantly influence desire to participate in crowdfunding. Behavioral intention is highly affected by perceived behavioral control as well as desire. Reward and investment types significantly moderate eight relationships in the research model. Hence, this study contributes to crowdfunding research and stakeholders in the visitor economy sectors.
