Organization, a tourism product is \"a combination of tangible and intangible elements, such as natural, cultural and man-made resources, attractions, facilities, services and activities around a specific centre of interest which represents the core of the destination marketing mix and creates an overall visitor experience including emotional aspects for the potential customers.\" While all ideas in the \"tourism product\" category are welcome, participants can be guided by submitting ideas in the following categories:<\/p>\r\n                    <ul class=\"styled-list\">\r\n

class=\"sub-title\">TECHNOLOGY IN TOURISM<\/h4>\r\n                    <p class=\"pane-text\">Throughout the years, incremental and disruptive technology innovations have been introduced to tourism to enhance tourism business models (e.g. Immigration kiosks at airports and AirBnb) or to create brand new experiences (e.g. virtual reality products). Technology can be used to improve tourism processes, resolve perceived tourism issues or enhance tourism products. Participants, therefore, are welcome to submit ideas on the development and\/or implementation of technology in tourism.<\/p>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <!-- TAB 2: Criterion 2 -->\r\n            <div class=\"criteria-pane\" id=\"tab-crit-2\">\r\n                <h3 class=\"pane-title\">The idea must be an innovation or an invention<\/h3>\r\n                <p class=\"pane-text\">Innovation is defined as a change that creates and\/or adds value and provides a competitive advantage here and now. These may fall in the categories of new products, new services, new production methods, new forms of organization and new markets.<\/p>\r\n                \r\n                <p class=\"pane-text\">The Incubator aims to focus on innovative ideas which fall into four broad categories:<\/p>\r\n                <ul class=\"styled-list highlight-list\">\r\n                    <li><strong>BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION<\/strong> \u2013 USING EXISTING TECHNOLOGY IN A NEW BUSINESS MODEL, OR USING NEW TECHNOLOGY IN AN EXISTING BUSINESS MODEL WHICH DISRUPTS THE EXISTING MARKET.<\/li>\r\n                    <li><strong>RADICAL INNOVATION<\/strong> \u2013 USING NEW TECHNOLOGY AND A NEW BUSINESS MODEL.<\/li>\r\n                    <li><strong>DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION<\/strong> \u2013 NEW BUSINESS MODELS THAT EVENTUALLY REPLACE TRADITIONAL BUSINESS MODELS.<\/li>\r\n                    <li><strong>INVENTION<\/strong> \u2013 A NEW, ORIGINAL PRODUCT (I.E.

This criterion emphasizes the difference between just ideating and ideating for a purpose. Usefulness can be determined, for example, by identifying gaps in market research and looking at market demand, and then seeing how the idea responds to this.<\/p>\r\n                \r\n                <p class=\"pane-text\">The commercialization of the idea must finally add value. Each participant must outline how the idea will add value to the tourism landscape and provide indicators for measuring same, e.g. tourism spend, visitor satisfaction, contribution to the tourism workforce etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p class=\"pane-text\">The idea must have a significant effect on the tourism industry. While this criterion could be considered ambiguous, it is the criterion that separates a basic improvement from a contribution to Destination Jamaica.

This criterion emphasizes the difference between just ideating and ideating for a purpose. Usefulness can be determined, for example, by identifying gaps in market research and looking at market demand, and then seeing how the idea responds to this.<\/p><p>The commercialization of the idea must finally add value. Each participant must outline how the idea will add value to the tourism landscape and provide indicators for measuring same, e.g. tourism spend, visitor satisfaction, contribution to the tourism workforce etc.<\/p><p>The idea must have a significant effect on the tourism industry. While this criterion could be considered ambiguous, it is the criterion that separates a basic improvement from a contribution to Destination Jamaica.

Dr. Carey Wallace Executive Director, TEF LEADERSHIP STATEMENT Reinvesting In Jamaica&#8217;s Future &#8220;The Tourism Innovation Incubator is one of our most deliberate expressions of our commitment to ensure tourism benefits are felt broadly across our economy.&#8221; The Tourism Enhancement Fund was established with a singular purpose: to reinvest in Jamaica&#8217;s tourism industry and ensure its benefits are felt broadly across our economy. The Tourism Innovation Incubator stands as one of our most deliberate and impactful expressions of that commitment. We are actively seeking technology-driven solutions that address real, tangible gaps in our industry. We are looking for concepts in accessibility, smart mobility, data and analytics, platform-based ecosystems, immersive experiences, sustainable innovations, and human capital technologies\u2014built, owned, and sustained by Jamaicans. Two cohorts have already proven that this programme works. Entrepreneurs who walked into this incubator with mere concepts walked out with fully functional prototypes, concrete business plans, and the strategic skills to execute them successfully. We are ready to do it again, with even greater ambition. Fifteen places are available. If your idea has the power to strengthen Jamaica&#8217;s tourism industry, the TEF wants to back you. Our Challenge &amp; Rules &amp; Guidelines Mentorship Access The incubator will also facilitate or provide access to more training, direct coaching, and mentoring necessary to take the idea to market.
