摘要：Innovation is essential for the sustainability and competitiveness of destinations. Mature cold-water destinations face particular challenges when innovating to revitalise. This paper examines the context of these destinations in terms of their demand and supply side characteristics and goes on to analyse this context in terms of its ability to promote or hinder innovation. Success factors are identifi ed which include the need for a champion, a whole of destination approach and adequate financing for revitalisation. Finally the paper analyses resort contexts for innovation in terms of their stakeholder landscape, network analysis and communities of practice.
