Angelo Presenza, Stefano Franco, Antonio Messeni Petruzzelli

The aim of this work is to shed light on the role of hackathon-platform as enablers of innovative and sustainable solutions in the tourism industry. Hackathon-platform can be considered as open innovation platforms that involve several stakeholders in a bottom-up approach of innovation generation. Innovation in tourism has been defined as the generation, acceptance and implementation of new ideas, processes, products or services (Hjalager, 2010).
