This study developed the evaluation model of competitiveness, and suggested "four dimensional sources of competitiveness". The primary sources of competitiveness include the subject, environment, and tourism resources. The secondary sources of competitiveness are comprised of tourism policy, tourism planning, tourism investment, tourism tax and prices, and tourism management. The tertiary sources of competitiveness include tourism infrastructure, tourism reception system, tourism attractiveness, tourism publicity system, and tourism manpower. The fourth sources of competitiveness are comprised of tourism demand, tourism employment, overall tourism performance, and tourism export. These four sources of competitiveness are determinants which dominate competitiveness in the tourism sector.
The constantly growing number of travel destinations, and the enhanced quality of existing ones, is putting great pressure on those responsible for a given destination to find better ways to compete in the tourism marketplace and to do so in a sustainable manner. The first step in achieving this goal is to better understand those forces and factors that determine the competitiveness of major tourism destinations.
Given the wide-ranging nature of the concept, and the problems of application, it is not surprising to find that there is no unique measure for competitiveness. The notion of tourism competitiveness must be consistent with the notion of 'competitiveness' in the international economics and international business literature. The literature on international competitiveness was critically reviewed with a view to developing a framework suitable for tourism research.
This research uses a concept of tourism competitiveness, mixing with national competitiveness, like the concept of M. Porter. Competitiveness in the tourism sector is defined as the ability of the tourism market environment and conditions, tourism resources, tourism human resources, and tourism infrastructure in a country create an added value and increase national wealth. That is to say, "the competitiveness in the tourism sector" is not only a measure of potential ability, but also an evaluation of present ability and tourism performance.
By this study, it is expected that a measurement to compare strengths and weaknesses in the tourism industry of every country will be developed, and that mutual cooperation among nations will be promoted to develop national, overall competitiveness in international tourism. This means that international cooperation should be strengthened through development of evaluation indicators of competitiveness. In the international tourism market every nation finds a way to strengthen international competitiveness through common efforts. Strategic cooperation among tourism industries, expansion and utilization of investment for a high value-added tourism industry, construction of tourism information system, and international cooperation among businesses for specialization of high-quality tourism can be suggested. For example, countries holding a dominant position in a field will increase attractiveness in the overall international tourist destination, and create much stronger potential power, as supporting other countries, and constructing cooperation system with their neighbour countries.
On the other hand, policies for positioning and raising the existing tourism industry, strategically supporting and improving, and developing a new category of tourism business can also be suggested. According to the above, the following program of five stages for strengthening the competitiveness of every country in the international tourism community was deduced. In the first stage, changes in the international market are identified, and the position taken by each country. The second stage is to analyze the reasons for those positions to find key points to strengthen competitiveness. In the third stage, every country sets up its vision to demonstrate its potential power to the highest level, and to establish the purpose for objective measurement and scientific proof. In the fourth stage, every country recognizes the level of competitiveness and the reason why a gap of competitiveness exists. It is essential to construct an international cooperation system for choosing effective system and policy to bring about the highest continual benefit. The fifth stage is to suggest a substitute plan and establish an action program.
