Abstract
Nowadays innovations are considered as one of the key sources of performance and competitiveness among tourism destinations. As tourism development is primarily based on their natural sources, the innovation process should respect the criteria of sustainable development. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the implementation of innovations in mountain destinations and examine their effect on sustainable tourism development. The research adopts in-depth analysis of the Central European destination High Tatras, concerning primary and secondary data from a survey and interviews with destination managers, tourism stakeholders, local inhabitants and annual reports. The novelty of this analysis lies in examining the connection of implementing different categories of innovations within different stages of the destination life cycle. The chapter concludes that various categories of innovation with different effects on sustainability are implemented in different stages of the destination life cycle.
