Abstract : The purpose of this study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of the effect of environmental regulations on
innovation and destination competitiveness. It intends to answer several questions; principal among them is, does the
regulatory framework for environmental sustainability at a destination spur innovation and ultimately enhance destination
competitiveness? There is often the concern that strict environmental regulations may hinder the development of any
industry and may erode competitiveness as discussed by Porter and van der Linde (1995); Forsyth (1997) Russell, Lafferty
and Loudoun (2008) which results in non-compliance to mandatory regulations.A critical focus of the study will be the
application of Porter’s hypothesis to the framework for environmental regulation in the tourism sector.The main outcome of
this research will therefore, be to examine responses of the industry to the need for environmental regulations and the
possible impact of these regulations on innovation and competitiveness. This study has implications for policy since it will
help to frame the discourse on environmental regulation in a manner that is constructive.
