Creativity in the Tourism World
16/06/2011
In view of how complex it is to achieve a high level of competitiveness for a mature destination, at this year's INTO Seminar it is planned to analyse creativity as the main competitiveness-enhancing tool for tourist destinations of the 21st century.
Having explored in depth, in 2009 and 2010, research, knowledge transfer, the new model of doing business over the Internet engendered by digitally-enabled consumers, the technological frontiers of the immediate future, etc., with the aim of enhancing the competitiveness of tourist destinations, in this eighth Seminar we plan to go full circle by opting for creativeness as a means of overcoming obsolescence and re-inventing mature destinations.
The idea that creativeness goes hand in hand with innovation to stimulate success in business is not a new one. The World Tourism Organization designated 2009 as the European Year of Creativity and Innovation. The message it conveyed was that the nexus between creativity and innovation calls for intelligent investments that will be able to bring about new and sustainable solutions and benefits for economies .
Although the term creative tourism, designating a product, was coined in this early century with the sense of "Tourism which offers visitors the opportunity to develop their creative potential through active participation in courses and learning experiences which are characteristic of the holiday destination where they are undertaken" (Greg Richards and Crispin Raymond, 2000), in 2006 UNESCO approved the concept "Creative Cities Network", which is defined the same as Creative Tourism.
This year's INTO introduces the term Creativity in Tourism, as a tool in the process of innovating so as to achieve a more competitive destination through transformation and imagination. In international knowledge forums there is an awareness that a phase has drawn to a close, that a new model of doing business is setting trends: changes of use are needed to avoid becoming obsolete, in spite of the difficult financial situation; there is a need to adapt to mobile technologies, to become aware of the new market segmentation, etc.; in short, all this will stimulate businesses to become more competitive, or else it will lead to their disappearance.

In an increasingly globalized market, how can submerge in the local tourist, live experience outside the usual tourist haunts? According to Richards, through creative tourism, which is a step beyond traditional supply, as well as providing facilities, produce goods and services and tourism experiences, to create change. Skills, originality, creativity, cool, narrative, intercultural and cross-cultural authenticity and everyday life are key elements of creative tourism.

The generation of ideas, workshop by Juan Prego
21/10/2011
After the coffee break we had the opportunity to hear John Prego, head of Creative Attitude that he asked directly: How many new ideas have you had today? Prego has begun recalling the words of Einstein: In times of crisis, imagination is more important than the intelligence and that the three key skills of creativity are skill, originality and value. He notes that there can be no innovation without creativity, because innovation processes require constant innovative thinking. There is no innovation without innovative, and creative companies can not have not have a creative team, creativity can not be outsourced. To encourage innovation and development of creativity, you must assign a time, encourage diversity, promote originality, build and test prototypes. Every idea has value until proven otherwise. Beware of our brain that is very good destroying and very bad creating. We see ideas like tigers, we first see the dangers and that prevents us from seeing the potential. When we have an idea, we should make a prototype.
A debate on innovation and creativity for the renovation of the tourist destination closes INTO 2011
21/10/2011
Javier Rey-Maquieira, moderator of the meeting stressed that we must promote innovation and creativity in all sectors, in business, university, society, and that we must break the attitude of fear of being creative, innovator, the failure is inherent.
Mateu Amengual, CIDTUR director, points to three key ideas: we have to change the destination, not individually change, it should improve customer service and finally there to claim that the administration be more diligent and promote business synergies.
Antoni Munar has pointed out that if employers know the true opinion of their customers, and knew how to collect these ideas, have valuable insights to constantly renew its offer. He remarked that no perceived crisis, and does not understand the culture of complaint, as creativity knows no crisis. And finally reinvindica that leaders are those who have voted and therefore we must require the administration to support the economic sector Balearic and simplifying undertaking to continue developing and positioning the destination.
Luis del Olmo, president of Baleares.t Balearic Tourism emphasizes that we are a leader in a while and have the opportunity to maintain it. For Del Olmo no doubt that the tourism industry is creative and have not focused their objectives and will implement ideas without proper planning, it is focusing its energy. He notes that someone must lead the projects, identify targets, put in place to make it happen.
Ana Maria Munar highlights that tourism is starting to work on a model of innovation getting faster MCAD is starting to see the models of creation and renewal of cultural industries, working on projects in clusters, with conomiento and passion about your theme, add value to the territory in which they are inserted, and therefore the tourism sector has much to copy it, make plans hybrids, suggesting that the main appeal of the Balearic Islands, as well as natural and cultural heritage are the people, their ideas and expertise. This is not innovation in processes, but to introduce passion and knowledge in organizations.
Pere Oliver emphasizes that innovation and creativity require work, method, create a social fabric to the transfer of knowledge, and put innovation at the heart of the company, an innovative company that knows unlearn. Lose the fear of failure, find the value of what you can not relocate as a singularity of the destination.
Payeras Miguel argues that we are able, but do we want? And the challenge is social maturity: Since we have the tools but is necessary to promote the organization, collaboration and participation. We integrate the excellent but despite the system, as the caustic environment, what emerges is brilliant. His final message aimed at young people with or without passion have formed and are facing the challenge that there is a gap in the labor market: do not hire until your contract is profitable for the company, difficult to predict at the moment current market. However we can not remain seated, waiting for an opportunity, we can only be on stage. And tourism is one of the industries that are more inclusive, there is room for all the ideas so it's time to define the vocation and passion for each other and get to work on it.
Following the intervention of all the speakers, the panel closes with an appreciation for the facilitator to the organization and the attendees for their active participation in development.
