| Tiivistelmä: | The paper investigates the innovations of a tourism company in the specific context of ski resorts in France. Actor-Network theory constitutes the conceptual framework of the study and is applied to the tourism sector. The results of a multi-methods qualitative study, indicate that the company's growth is related to the implementation of new associations between actors and non-human entities. Thanks to the "leader translator" the company is able to interest and enrol actors in its project. The analysis helps to understand how within a tourist destination existing resources can be reconfigured in a way that can create innovative and unique products. |
