The transformations promoting a healthy and pro-ecological style of living result both in the changes in ways of spending free time (spending free time actively instead of passive leisure) and an increase of expectations concerning the quality of the natural environment in a tourism region. Simultaneously, tourism activities have become a standard element of a style of living and happen several times a year. The tourism development is still progressing despite many changes in global economy (frequently negatively, it seems, affecting tourism); a fact which confirms tourism’s great significance for the functioning of both societies and modern economy. Yet another issue is the relation between tourism and the natural and cultural environment of tourism reception areas whose sustainable nature makes tourism develop further. The complexity of tourism and its interdisciplinary nature are the reasons behind the steady rise in the research interest of various fields of science, especially economic sciences, in problems of tourism. Such a rise is owed to an increasing impact of the tourism sector on the level and nature of the economic development, both on the local and regional as well as global levels. The series “Economic Problems of Tourism” issued within The Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego (The Scientific Journal of the University of Szczecin) is a platform for exchanging scholarly views and presenting research findings and achievements of scientists for whom tourism, especially in terms of economy, is the main subject of scientific interest. However, multiplicity and diversity of aspects of human tourism activity, its reasons and effects make it remain a field of interest of the researchers representing diversified fields of science, including economy, law, geography, or physical culture. The series “Economic Problems of Tourism” within The Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego (The Scientific Journal of the University of Szczecin) present the research findings and achievements of scientists from Polish and foreign academic centres. The current issue of the journal presents tourism in terms of the three areas: theoretical aspects; functioning of the tourism service market; and regional problems of tourism development.

Jaremen,2 Elżbieta Nawrocka3 Wrocław University of Economics, POLAND 1 e-mail: [email protected] 2 e-mail: [email protected] 3 e-mail: [email protected] Keywords innovation model, tourist enterprise, innovation system of a tourist enterprise Abstract The objective of the paper attempting to construct a model of the tourist enterprise innovation system, which allows explaining the mechanism of innovation activities in tourism. The basic research method used is the subject literature analysis. The modelling is based on a descriptive method derived from the deduction method. The result of conducted research is a proposal of an innovation system for a tourist enterprise (ISTE). The presented paper is both a review and theoretical study. Introduction The world literature offers numerous studies covering the problem of innovations and their implementation in enterprises representing various branches. In the field of tourism an extensive input in understanding the essence of innovations and innovativeness has been made by e.g.: A.M. Hjalager, X. Decelle, M. Peters, B. Pikkemaat, P. Jones as well as S. Nordin and B. Svennson. In Poland the following authors conduct in-depth studies on the innovation problems in the area Scientific Journal of University of Szczecin No. 877 7 Małgorzata Januszewska, Daria E. Jaremen, Elżbieta Nawrocka of tourism economy: M. Bednarczyk and her team, E. Szymańska, E. Panfiluk and also the research workers at the Department of Marketing and Tourism Economy Management of Wrocław University of Economics. The research on innovativeness of tourist enterprises is most frequently concentrated on innovation characteristics and types, its description, organization, innovation process effects, distinguishing differences between production and service oriented innovations, innovation strategy identification, its success factors, as well as the role of a client and company staff in the course of innovation
