Abstract:

The production of these case studies began in 2007 at the Business Enterprises for Sustainable Tourism Education Network (BEST EN) Think Tank at Northern Arizona University and continued with the ongoing support of BEST EN and sponsorship of the Curtin Business School. Ten original international case studies were produced and then substantially updated in 2012 for this publication. Contributions were sourced from BEST EN members and associates, who were encouraged to offer descriptions of innovation that would be of interest to an international audience. The resulting case studies could be considered as a convenience sample, that is, a sample design based on information gathered from members of a population who are conveniently accessible to the researcher (Jennings 2001). Ten international cases are included (four from the United States (US), two from Europe, and one each from Australia, Ghana, Sri Lanka and China). The cases are based on primary and secondary research by the contributing authors and each case has been peer-reviewed prior to publication. Cross-case analysis (Patton 1990) was used to provide a research framework for comparing and contrasting the different types and contexts of innovation and also provide for an integrated analysis of the drivers, barriers and processes of innovation and the networks for innovation. The cases have been prepared for use in research and teaching of innovation networks and sustainable tourism development. The analysis and case notes are both designed to facilitate discussion and further investigation of networks for innovation, not only in tourism, but in other economic sectors as well.
