Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical model that analyses the direct effect of social capital on innovation, as well as the mediating effect of acquisition of knowledge between both variables in firms in a cultural tourist district. We analyse the bidimensional nature of social capital —bonded capital and bridging capital—. It is an approach to the context and characteristics of cultural tourist districts. We point out several future investigation lines related to the differentiation between types of knowledge and innovation. We propose recommendations about the orientation of relations between companies and institutions of cultural tourist districts.
