Sammendrag
In a rapidly changing tourism industry, the international competition is strong

and the well-travelled tourists have high expectations. This has led to an increasing

emphasis on the development of new services and experiences to attract

tourists’ attention. Innovation has become a “buzz-word”, seen as essential for

survival and growth.

With cases from Norway and NZ this thesis examines what innovation means

in the context of adventure tourism businesses, and explore relations between

such change processes and the available knowledge resources of the business.

Several factors influence the knowledge resources of a given business, and this

study looks specifically at how the size of the business, its location, and the maturity

of the specific adventure tourism activity shapes processes of knowledge

development and innovation.

The study takes it starting point in research on small businesses and tourism innovation,

and draws on perspectives from economic geography and evolutionary

theories of industry development. In addition sociological theories of leisure are

included to explore how the close relations between adventure tourism and certain

outdoor recreation milieus may benefit knowledge development.
