How deep is your lab? Understanding the possibilities and limitations of living labs in tourism
Living labs are increasingly popular in discussions on co-creation, destination design and education, particularly with regards to their potential to deal with so called ‘wicked’ problems. However, the living labs concept is ill-defined and critical practitioners warn that this undermines the potential of living labs and may lead to inflated expectations. This article seeks to provide more clarity on living labs, the kind of work that can take place in them and the depth of insights that they can deliver. We provide a taxonomy of different lab environments and the different purposes that they can serve within a tourism context. Based on experiences in two urban tourism living labs in the Netherlands, it is argued that living labs are not suited for solving wicked problems per se, and that greater modesty is required when discussing their potential. The paper concludes with a critical discussion and avenues for further research on the possibilities and limitations of using living labs to facilitate innovation in research and higher education practice.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Destination Marketing & Management (JDMM) is an international journal that focuses on the study of tourist destinations, specifically their marketing and management. It aims to provide a critical understanding of all aspects of destination marketing and management, considering their unique contexts in terms of policy, planning, economics, geography, and history. The journal seeks to develop a strong theoretical foundation in this field by incorporating knowledge from various disciplinary approaches. Additionally, JDMM aims to promote critical thinking and innovation in destination marketing and management, expand the boundaries of knowledge, and serve as a platform for international idea exchange.
