RESEARCH SETTING Eurodite and tourism
Policy concerns
• EU Lisbon strategy in practice: high-tech, big-science ?
• cluster-mania in policy communities across Europe
EURODITE contributions 2005-2010
• network researching regional knowledge dynamics
• focus on seven selected sectors, including tourism
• sectoral / territorial knowledge dynamics
• firm-level case studies

CONCEPTUALISING KNOWLEDGE DYNAMICS
• knowledge types: different truth criteria– analytical, synthetic, symbolic
• knowledge phases: purpose of activity– exploration, examination, exploitation
• knowledge sites: location– explicit, complicit, implicit
– individual, collective
• knowledge processes: drivers, strategies, institutions– regulation, markets, networks, corporate objectives
– organisational, professional, markets, products/processes

EURODITEin North Jutland
• three case-studies af network development within tourism– Knowledge use/generation, knowledge
geography, knowledge types
• Diverse case-studies– Culture/nature, short/long time span
• Endless interviews by willing volunteers– DMO development in Toppen af Danmark (PFH)- all-year tourism in Mariagerfjord (AT)- innovation in cultural heritage (LDO)

North Jutland and the rest• Extensive mobilisation of tacit knowledge
– Marketing, product development, organisational development
• Increasing network interaction, especially internally– Ownership/stakeholding central issues
• Coordination and competition between localities
Room for improvement• Use of regional/international knowledge resources
– Knowledge about consumer/product trends– Short-termism

Further research possibilities• Knowledge in destination management processes
– Making of policies between public/private/locality• more of the same?• more systematic international comparisons?
• External sources of knowledge in tourism development– Universities, consultants, WTO
• Knowledge and political agenda setting– The rise of experience economy policies
• Knowledge and north-south tour operators
