Abstract
MANRAI, Lalita A.; MANRAI1, Ajay K. and FRIEDEBORN, Stefanie. Environmental determinants of destination competitiveness and its Tourism Attractions-Basics-Context, A-B-C, indicators: A review, conceptual model and propositions. Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.50, pp.425-450. ISSN 2077-1886. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jefas-01-2018-0010.
Purpose
-The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature and develop a model of the determinants, indicators and effects of destination competitiveness (DC), as well as several propositions.
Design/methodology/approach
-This study thoroughly reviewed extant literature to develop a conceptual model and propositions.
Findings
-Two key findings are listed below. First, 12 different environmental factors are identified and 12 propositions are developed linking these environmental factors to DC. Second, a new indicator of DC is developed, namely, Tourism Attractions-Basics-Context (TABC) model. The TABC model is simple and directly taps into the benefits tourists seek in a destination.
Research limitations/implications
- Directions for future research are discussed in detail in the paper.
Practical implications
-Managerial implications are discussed in detail in the paper.
Originality/value
-The extant research on the topic of DC has been rather fragmented and incomplete in scope. The research presented in this paper addresses these limitations.
Keywords : Destination competitiveness; Environmental determinants; Tourism ABC (Attractions-Basics-Context) indicators; Tourism performance.
