“…Rønningen () emphasized the role of large companies in the dissemination of innovation and development processes (enabling access to new, mainly international markets, new technologies, knowledge, and competences) to small and medium tourism enterprises. Hence, investigating the innovativeness of large companies should be recognized as crucial for understanding the innovativeness of the whole tourism sector.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the role of source of innovation, its degree of novelty, and their interaction in shaping tourism companies' stock returns in different geographical contexts. The research employed the buy‐and‐hold method. It included 378 innovation announcements released in the years 2011–2016 for 111 tourism companies operating in European Union countries. Findings suggest that abnormal returns for the companies listed in the innovation leading countries were significantly smaller than those for the moderate innovators group. The study proposes a novel, geographical perspective to the analysis of the effects of innovation on stock returns in tourism.

“…In addition, it is difficult to receive feedback from distant markets. Marketing may be too costly for many peripheral companies that would rather establish close co-operative relationships with tour operators (Rønningen 2011) or those who already have market power and do not develop marketing themselves. Such relationships may increase local companies' dependence on external players.…”

The study objective was to analyse how capitalized and non-capitalized resource rents act as mechanisms of innovation in nature-based tourism within a centre-periphery context dominated by distance, instability, and dependency. The authors studied 55 out of 64 businesses engaged in tourism in Nordkapp Municipality in Norway in the period 2002-2012. Data were collected from a survey, interviews, and empirical observations, and then analysed using both deductive and inductive methodological approaches. The main findings were that tourism in the Nordkapp Municipality had suffered from a lack of local innovation initiatives caused by the capitalized resource rent of tourism to North Cape and its leakage. Nevertheless, local tourism had increased partly because of the inclusion of new and more attractive products, due to the open-access, non-capitalized resource management in fishing tourism that operated simultaneously with the closed and capitalized context of North Cape tourism. The authors conclude that this openaccess regime of fishing tourism stimulated innovation and further development of coastal tourism, and even affected traditional North Cape tourism. Non-capitalized resource rent had not leaked out because it had not been collected by external companies and because it had acted as an innovation mechanism on the periphery. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Wedding planners are identified as having a central role in coordinating the network of local companies providing the various wedding and tourism services, the local public authorities and, when necessary, religious bodies (Fortezza & Del Chiappa, 2012). In the context of the emergence of a new wedding destination, it can be suggested that wedding planners, not unlike tour operators, can act not only as coordinators but also as innovation drivers (Mattsson, Sundbo, & Fussing-Jensen, 2005;Rønning, 2010;Trunfio, Petruzzelli, & Nigro, 2006).…”
