Summary. Rural heritage bed-and-breakfast businesses in China successfully innovate by blending tradition with modern practices. The study identifies a five-phase framework—idea generation, evaluation, initial implementation, continuing implementation, and sustaining improvement—that guides this innovation process. Three key factors enable success: entrepreneurs' travel experience, business networks, and institutional support. These findings show how rural heritage businesses can compete by strategically modernizing traditional offerings.
