Abstract
This chapter provides a series of case studies to enhance the chapters in this section of the book, particularly focusing upon how tourism intelligence underpins cultural and social innovation in city tourism and product development. These case studies extend the material and concepts in the chapters by examining the issues in detail. Whilst the case study approach has sparked debate in the research literature, particularly focussing around the ability of researchers to generalise more widely from single cases, it is the aim of this chapter to build upon the chapters using real life examples. The case studies work especially well at the local scale by drawing together the many different elements of tourism, their linkages and the relevant stakeholders as they focus on one particular place.
