Abstract: In the tourism sector, the transfer of innovations from other secยญtors is usually observed, as innovative solutions are modified for the purposยญes of tourism activities. The main types of innovations in the tourism organยญization can be considered according to the goal they pursue, namely the achievement of economic or social efficiency.
The purpose of the current development is to present the possibilities for implementing innovations in the tourism sector. In order to achieve the set goal, the innovation trajectory by which the tourist enterprise implements innovations in its activity will be examined. Based on the considered trajecยญtory and outlined specificity in the innovation activity of tourist enterprisยญes, the four main groups will be clarified: technical-technological innovaยญtions, product innovations, marketing innovations and organizational inยญnovations. Real examples of implemented innovations in the tourism sector will be explored and presented.
