| Abstract: | The article examines knowledge transfer amongst tourist attractions in Cornwall, England. Attention is paid to the significance of spatial clustering and product similarity. Results are based on in-depth interviews with tourist attraction managers and key informants on two contrasting spatial clusters. The results indicate that spatial proximity, product similarity, and market similarity generally facilitate knowledge transfer and innovation spillovers at the regional and local scales. |
