Innovation in the Norwegian Rural Tourism Industry: Results from a Norwegian Survey

Martin Rønningen · 2010 · The Open Social Science Journal

Summary. A survey of 133 Norwegian rural tourism businesses reveals high innovation rates, though slightly below the national tourism average. Innovation capacity correlates strongly with business cooperation, market information use, and employee training. Export-oriented firms produce more product innovations, and those receiving public grants implement more product and market innovations. The study identifies cooperation, information systems, and workforce development as key drivers of rural tourism innovation.
