Abstract

This research note compares the impacts of the macroeconomic condition on the relationship between tourism destination competitiveness (TDC) ranking and tourism performance. This study utilized the cross-country analysis of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) data among 115 countries. Macroeconomic conditions are conceptualized in high-income versus low-income nations, while the WEF TTCI ranking explains the TDC ranking. The Partial-least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) results showed that TTCI ranking significantly influenced the low-income group’s tourism performance only but not for the developed ones. The results confirm the criticism of the TTCI ranking bias, reflecting the unbalanced competitiveness assessment distribution between advanced and low-income countries. The study findings augment the incomparability among countries on different levels of development and the arbitrary weighting of the TTCI ranking report, which may lead to inaccurate perceptions of the country and incorrect investment decisions.

旅游目的地竞争力排名与旅游业绩效

本研究报告比较了宏观经济条件对旅游目的地竞争力（TDC）排名与旅游业绩效之间关系的影响。本研究利用世界经济论坛（WEF）旅行和旅游竞争力指数（TTCI）数据对115个国家进行了跨国分析。宏观经济条件被概念化为高收入国家与低收入国家，而世界经济论坛旅行与旅游竞争力指数排名则解释了 TDC 排名。偏最小二乘法结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）多组分析（MGA）结果表明，TTCI 排名只对低收入组的旅游业表现有显著影响，而对发达国家则没有影响。这些结果证实了对 TTCI 排名偏差的批评，反映了先进国家和低收入国家之间竞争力评估分布的不平衡。研究结果增加了不同发展水平国家之间的不可比性，以及 TTCI 排名报告的任意加权，这可能导致对国家的不准确认识和错误的投资决策。
