The diffusion of disrupting innovations has generated significant market changes, modifying the dominant logic. This structural change is affecting the organizational networks and the services tourism players are supposed to use to perform well in markets (and be efficient).\u00a0This disruptive change affects the whole tourism and hospitality industry: relationships between players change as their respective roles change; this is driven by e-commerce \/ e-business and disruptive innovation. For instance hotels, thanks to e-business technological platforms, can now use algorithms to set yield and revenue management strategies, monitor competition in real time and allow consumers to use mobile devices to access several services.<\/p>\n

In the tourism industry, many innovations have been initiated from companies in the information technology sector. Generally, Information technology is revolutionizing products, services and markets.\u00a0The aim of this Special Issue is to promote new theoretical and empirical research on disruptive innovation for tourism, understanding how and why the changes happened (theory building), as well as providing cases for the respective arguments.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
