The Islamist Ali International airport, presently underneath construction on the Furat of Najaf, will create a positive contribution to the growing numbers of tourists. During the past few years, there have been tremendous attempts among various Iraqi tourism companies to implement e-service innovation to increase their capabilities; E-service innovation is an important element to support competitive advantages. Therefore, implementation of this task needs to be stimulated. In this context, many literature points out that the use of web knowledge networks contributes to competitive success. So, this study aims to investigate the impact of web knowledge networks on e-service innovation for tourism companies in Iraq.
