Tourism, Competitiveness and Economic Growth: A New Analytical Model

Maria Del Pablo-Romero, Palma Gomez-Calero and Javier Sanchez-Rivas

A chapter in Tourism - From Empirical Research Towards Practical Application from IntechOpen

Abstract: This study reviews the theories relating to competitiveness and the indicators used for its measurement on the one hand and the studies that relate tourism and growth on the other, with the purpose of establishing the links that exist between both concepts. This enables a model to be defined in which some factors that affect tourism competitiveness combine with capital and work to determine economic growth. The provision of inherited tourism resources, together with the provision of productive resources, and the links between them are the determining elements of the capacity of an economy to produce and therefore to grow.
