Nuevos enfoques en gestión turística: El programa de agrupaciones empresariales innovadoras en España

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate recent tourism innovation policies in Spain, specifically those that support the creation and consolidation of the Innovative Business Group (AEI, for its initials in Spanish) Programme in Tourism, its singularity, the characteristics of the resulting AEIs and the evaluation made by managers. The analysis shows the lights and shadows of the Programme and also suggests the need to reformulate these types of policies. It also highlights interesting discussion points about the innovation derived from collaborative processes in tourism.
