Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The aim of this study was to develop an insight into the importance and impact of the attributes which shape the competitiveness of tourism destinations. Research since the early 1990s has gradually shed light on the nature and structure of destination competitiveness. Some of this research has focussed on particular elements of destination competitiveness, such as price competitiveness, while other research has aimed at developing a more comprehensive understanding of destination competitiveness. General theories of competitiveness have been assimilated and adapted, and conceptual models of destination competitiveness have been developed which tailors these general ideas and theories to the particular characteristics of the tourism industry. As a result, destination competitiveness theory has developed to the point that empirical study is now possible and desirable. In more recent years the conceptual models have been applied to analyse specific destinations or tourism markets. But one of the most pressing research needs is to understand better the relative importance of the attributes of competitiveness. Strategies for improving destination competitiveness must make decisions about where and how limited resources should be directed. Therefore, information which helps to identify which attributes are likely to influence competitiveness most effectively, are of considerable value." -- Publisher.
