This thesis examines the propriety of innovation as a concept for the coordination of novelty and change. Innovation is generally framed positively and often narrowed down to commercialised invention. This interpretation is largely taken for granted: explanations for this optimism are rarely offered. This unquestioned belief in innovation made me curious. I decided to examine the concept and its representations from up close and turned to an industry that has always been very receptive to external shocks: the Dutch travel industry. Prior to the current pandemic, this industry has showed an increased fascination with its own (lack of) innovation as it faced two main challenges: increased competition from outsiders and its own growing contribution to climate change. In this industry I encountered somewhat narrow innovation discourses that centred on e-commerce enterprise as the fashion of the day. To find out how these discourses relate to the academic literature on innovation, I analysed technological innovation literature and research on innovation in tourism studies. In these literatures, innovation is generally interpreted as commercialised technology. While literatures propagating alternative forms of innovation did scrutinise this current economictechnological purpose of innovation, they did not question the concept of innovation itself.In this PhD thesis I therefore studied the use and effects of the discourse on innovation in tourism. To this end, I turned to different theories premised on post-structuralist thought: Actor-Network Theory; Discourse Theory; and Evolutionary Governance Theory. Using these theories, I conducted three case studies that traced particular manifestations of innovation in the Dutch travel industry: the development of a carbon management calculator for tour operators (chapter 2); the impact of a PhD thesis on aviation-induced climate change on Dutch aviation policy (chapter 3); and the development of an innovation unit in a large tourism organisation (chapter 4). Two notions of Evolutionary Governance Theory -material events and reality effects - functioned as an overarching analytical framework that enabled an integrated analysis of the case studies. Material events explain innovation as a construct that emerges when different actors coordinate responses to a perceived change of some kind. Reality effects illustrate that innovation produces contingent effects that result from continuously evolving interpretations of material and social environments. With the help of this analytical framework, I addressed the following research question: what are reality effects of innovation in the Dutch travel industry?Chapter 2-4 present the case studies. Chapter 2 investigates the potential of eco-innovation to contribute to sustainability transitions in tourism, using a case study that traced the development of a carbon management calculator (CARMACAL) for small to medium-sized tour operators. The chapter illustrates the evolving ideas and practices of tour operators who had typically relied on paths of action and corresponding arguments that justified inertia when it comes to climate change mitigation. These conventions started to change when the idea of carbon labelling was introduced at an industry event. This triggered a joint interest in carbon measurement, at least so it seemed at first. A joint innovation initiative was started: the tour operators participated in a subsidised project that created CARMACAL, a piece of software that made uniform carbon measurement possible. CARMACAL, however, was based on different and contradicting ideas about carbon management.

520 $a Is het concept innovatie wel geschikt voor het organiseren van nieuwigheid en verandering? Innovatie - doorgaans geinterpreteerd als het succesvol vermarkten van uitvindingen - wordt over het algemeen gezien als iets positiefs. Verklaringen voor dit optimisme zijn echter schaars. Dit maakte mij nieuwsgierig. Ik besloot daarom het gebruik van het concept innovatie van dichtbij te bestuderen. Ik richtte me hierbij op een sector die altijd zeer vatbaar is geweest voor schokken van buitenaf: de Nederlandse reisbranche. Voorafgaand aan de coronapandemie stond deze sector voor twee belangrijke uitdagingen: toenemende concurrentie van buitenstaanders en de groeiende bijdrage van toerisme aan klimaatverandering. Tegelijkertijd was men binnen deze sector in toenemende mate gefascineerd geraakt door (het eigen gebrek aan) innovatie. In het innovatiediscours dat ik in deze sector aantrof werd innovatie min of meer gelijkgesteld aan e-commerce. Een vergelijkbaar technischeconomisch frame is ook terug te vinden in de gangbare technologische innovatieliteratuur en in de toerismeliteratuur over innovatie. In diverse spin-off literatuur wordt dit dominante economisch doel van innovatie wel bekritiseerd. Vervolgens worden echter alternatieve vormen van innovatie gepromoot. Het concept innovatie zelf wordt in deze literatuur niet ter discussie gesteld.In dit proefschrift onderzocht ik daarom het gebruik en de effecten van het innovatiediscours binnen toerisme. Met behulp van verschillende theorieen gebaseerd op poststructuralistisch gedachtengoed - actor-netwerktheorie; discourstheorie; en evolutionaire governance theorie - bestudeerde ik een drietal specifieke innovatie-casussen in de Nederlandse reisbranche: de ontwikkeling van een CO2-voetafdruk calculator voor touroperators (hoofdstuk 2); de impact van een proefschrift over de klimaateffecten van luchtvaart op het Nederlandse luchtvaartbeleid (hoofdstuk 3); en de ontwikkeling van een innovatieafdeling binnen een grote toerismeorganisatie (hoofdstuk 4). Twee begrippen uit evolutionaire governance theorie - materiele voorvallen en werkelijkheidseffecten - vormden het theoretische kader voor de analyse van deze casestudies. Materiele voorvallen verklaren innovatie als uitingen en praktijken die opduiken zodra verschillende actoren proberen gecoordineerd te reageren op veranderingen die zij waarnemen in hun omgeving. Werkelijkheidseffecten laten de betrekkelijkheid van dit proces zien: 'innovatie' omvat en veroorzaakt materiele en discursieve effecten die voortkomen uit voortdurend evoluerende interpretaties van de materiele en 160 sociale omgeving van actoren. Deze effecten zijn dus moeilijk te voorzien. De effecten van innovatie en innovatie zelf zijn daarom vaak ongrijpbaar en moeilijk te voorspellen. Met behulp van dit kader richtte ik mij op de volgende onderzoeksvraag: wat zijn realiteitseffecten van innovatie in de Nederlandse uitgaande reisbranche? Hoofdstuk 2-4 presenteren de casestudies. Hoofdstuk 2 onderzoekt het potentieel van ecoinnovatie om bij te dragen aan duurzaamheidstransities in toerisme, met behulp van een casestudie die de ontwikkeling van een CO2-voetafdrukcalculator (CARMACAL) voor kleine en middelgrote touroperators volgt. Het hoofdstuk illustreert de veranderende opvattingen en praktijken van touroperators die gewend zijn om paden te bewandelen en argumenten te gebruiken die passiviteit op het gebied van klimaatmitigatie rechtvaardigen. Aan deze passiviteit leek een eind te komen toen een spreker tijdens een vakbeurs het idee van carboncertificatie introduceerde. Dit leidde tot een gedeelde interesse in het meten van de CO2- voetafdruk van pakketreizen. Een samenwerking ontstond: de touroperators namen deel aan een gesubsidieerd project voor de ontwikkeling van CARMACAL: software die het uniform meten van de CO2-voetafdruk mogelijk maakt. CARMACAL was echter gebaseerd op tegenstrijdige opvattingen over CO2-management. Na afloop van het project staken meningsverschillen over deze opvattingen de kop op en CARMACAL bleef een passief stuk technologie, ondergeschikt aan bedrijfsroutines die het eigenlijk had moeten veranderen.
