- Abstract
This study relates that the 'business-as-usual' scenario has come to an end and questions the general practice of the present ethnocentric-led institutional tourism development in the Far East within an analytical framework. It asserts that global cities play a crucial role in the systematic search for innovation and its diffusion, amongst others, through the regionalization of the metropolitan economies in an hierarchy of central places. The study focuses on Hong Kong, which has the potential to perform the function of "incubator" for innovation and its transfer throughout the region. However, the results indicate that whilst tourism organizations in Hong Kong are engaged in some type of innovation, they do not apply systematic processes to advance innovation. Furthermore, the results also reveal that local service enterprises are less inclined to develop new service offerings in overseas markets than international enterprises.
