Data analysis was performed in four phases. In the initial phase, a link between the innovation project and SiPlan was established. In the next phase, which of the innovation factors are significantly correlated with the tourism destination development concept was identified. In the third phase, further policy potential for improving the innovation factors was identified. In the last phase, a systems approach was applied to develop a qualitative systems model, a causal loop diagram, taking into consideration the empirically identified strengths and weaknesses of the current SiPlan and other pertinent factors. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 The results of empirical research indicate that SiPlan represents a valuable, but not optimum development model of Slovene tourism development. Therefore, the authors propose a qualitative tourism development model based on the research results and a systems dynamics methodology. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 The work is important from the scientific point of view, i.e. as a methodology and research results that could be applied in further research activities. In addition, the results could be usefully used by policy makers by way of focusing on the most influential factors: policies that have a potential for the systems (holistic) and socially responsible development of tourism in Slovenia.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-07-2013-0154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]],"date-time":"2014-03-25T06:06:16Z","timestamp":1395727576000},"page":"427-444","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The systems approach to the improvement of innovation in Slovenian tourism"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Marko","family":"Ropret","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Tadeja","family":"Jere Jakulin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Borut","family":"Likar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aguilera, R.\n               , \n                  Rupp, D.\n               , \n                  Williams, C.\n                and \n                  Ganapathi, J.\n                (2007), \u201cPutting the S back in corporate social responsibility: a multilevel theory of social change in organizations\u201d, Academy of Management Review, Vol. 32, pp. 836-863.","DOI":"10.5465\/amr.2007.25275678"},{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alavalapati, R.J.\n                and \n                  Adamovicz, W.L.\n                (2000), \u201cTourism impact modeling for resource extraction regions\u201d, Annals of Tourism Research, Vol. 27 No. 1, pp. 188-202.","DOI":"10.1016\/S0160-7383(99)00064-X"},{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b3","unstructured":"Alpine Convention Secretariat\n                (2005), The Multi-Annual Work Programme of the Alpine Convention: 2005-2010, Alpine Convention Secretariat, Innsbruck."},{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b4","unstructured":"Anderson, V.\n                and \n                  Johnson, L.\n                (1997), Systems Thinking Basics: From Concepts to Causal Loops, Pegasus Communication, Waltham, MA."},{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Biloslavo, R.\n                (2005), \u201cUse of the knowledge management framework as a tool for innovation capability audit\u201d, International Journal of Innovation and Learning, Vol. 2 No. 4, pp. 402-424.","DOI":"10.1504\/IJIL.2005.006663"},{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b6","unstructured":"Blanke, J.\n                and \n                  Chiesa, T.\n                (2013), The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2013, World Economic Forum, Geneva."},{"key":"key2021010203264274000_b7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"C\u00f3rdoba, J.-R.\n                and \n                  Campbell, T.\n                (2008), \u201cSystems thinking and corporate social responsibility\u201d, Syst.
