Resumo: This article aims at providing a conceptual framework for the analysis of regional innovation in tourism, linking the development of tourism destinations and geography of innovation fields of study. It discusses the evolution of innovation models towards interactive processes that highlight the importance of regions and regional actors in innovation and territorial development. Considering the nature and dynamics of tourism industry, Regional Innovation Systems theory was considered to be the most appropriated for this analysis. Bearing this in mind, the concept was applied to tourism destinations through: (i) the identification of tourism actors; (ii) the definition of tourism regions; (iii) the analysis of innovation networks in tourism innovation; and (iv) knowledge creation and transfer in tourism practices as crucial innovationprocesses. This analysis resulted in a conceptual model of a Regional Tourism Innovation System, which contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of tourism systemic innovation (helping the design of innovation policies) and provides a model for empirical research on tourism innovation.

Discute-se a evolução dos modelos de inovação em direção a processos interativos que destacam a importância das regiões e dos atores regionais para a inovação e desenvolvimento territorial. Considerando a natureza e a dinâmica do setor do turismo, a teoria dos Sistemas Regionais de Inovação foi considerada a mais adequada para esta análise. Desta forma, o conceito foi aplicado aos destinos turísticos, através de: (i) identificação dos atores do turismo; (ii) definição de destinos turísticos regionais; (iii) análise das redes de inovação em turismo e; (iv) análise das práticas de criação e transferência de conhecimento como os principais processos de inovação. Esta análise resultou num modelo conceptual de um Sistema Regional de Inovação em Turismo, o qual contribui para a compreensão das dinâmicas de inovação sistémica no setor (ajudando na elaboração de políticas de inovação) e fornece um quadro conceptual para a investigação empírica em campos de estudo relacionados com a inovação em turismo.  Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2012-01-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v2i17/18.12975oai:proa.ua.pt:article/12975Journal of Tourism & Development; Vol 2 No 17/18 (2012); 647-660Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; vol. 2 n.º 17/18 (2012); 647-6602182-14531645-9261reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/12975https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v2i17/18.12975https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/12975/8617https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBrandão, FilipaCosta, Carlos Manuel Martins da2022-09-26T10:57:12Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/12975Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:05:52.435166Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
