The rapidly changing business environment is a forcing destinations to innovate in order to remain competitive. Innovation is increasingly recognized as being important for destination development. In times of economic uncertainty, a comprehensive overview of the factors of mountain destination innovativeness can contribute to the better development of mountain destinations. Research has identified important elements of innovativeness that contribute to mountain destination development and has determined the factors that comprise these elements. The elements of mountain destination innovativeness are tested for their importance in the first part of the analysis. An exploratory factor analysis is then conducted using only the more important elements to form three factors that represent the underlying dimensions of mountain destination innovativeness. The results show that mountain destination innovativeness incorporates the factors of sociocultural sustainability and stakeholder participation, environmental sustainability (natural environment) and proactiveness. Research provides knowledge for researchers as well as for stakeholders in mountain destinations, especially mountain destination managers, who will be able to identify the important factors of mountain destination innovativeness to focus on in order to increase destination development.

“…Development of indicators should include experts as well as other groups since experts are prone to disregard some issues that can be important in tourism system (Bossel, 1999). Importance will be measured with seven-point Likert items, a common practice in tourism literature (Peters, 1993;Borchgrevink & Knutson, 1997;Barquet, Osti & Brida, 2010). One-sample T-test will be used for identification of statistically significantly important indicators for measuring mountain destination development.…”

Discrete choice experiments are conducted in different fields to obtain data for investigating consumer behaviour and derived measures such as the value of improving a particular service attribute. This paper presents a stated preference experiment for evaluating the service quality of four hotels of an important corporation in Gran Canaria Island (Lopesan Hotels and Resorts). Service quality is a composite of various attributes; among them many attributes are intangible and difficult to measure. In this paper, we estimate a multinomial logit (MNL) in order to obtain a synthetic index for service quality. This composite index will help hotel managers to understand their relative ranking position, and provide an adequate alternative to performance evaluation of hotel services which usually involve subjective judgments of qualitative attributes.
