Abstract: The destination competitiveness literature, while well established, is fraught with inconsistencies over its definition, measurement and its legitimacy as a topic of research. Given the divide that exists, this paper proposes a phenomenographic approach to the study of destination competitiveness. Specifically, the paper argues that efforts to advance destination competitiveness should be preceded by a better understanding of how destination stakeholders is conceptualize the term.
