Abstract
Constant innovation in tourism is vital to keep this key growth sector competitive. A study by Irma Booyens and Christian Rogerson has found that although tourism establishments in the Western Cape find innovative ways to enhance their businesses, these are mainly incremental in nature and more should be done to recognise, encourage and support innovation by these establishments.-
