Purpose

This study aims to provide current and organised insights into past published studies on tourism destination competitiveness (TDC) in the past decade through systematic literature analysis.

Design/methodology/approach

A comprehensive review was performed by systematically gathering the literature published from 1983 to 2021 and coded according to categories such as author, year, article title, name of journal and TDC determinants.

Findings

The key findings of this review reveal that no universal set of items, attributes or indicators to measure the competitiveness of tourism destinations exists; the complexity and variability of many definitions and measuring elements from various perspectives portray the multi-faceted concept of competitiveness; and synergistic connection between the source of comparative and competitive advantages of TDC focusing on destination image, tourism experience and loyalty.

Research limitations/implications

Research works considered in the study are only from indexed and peer-reviewed journal publications.

Originality/value

The study findings reveal a lack of studies that address the relationship between destination image, tourism experience and loyalty within the TDC realm. Future studies should consider complementing the tourism supply and demand side to avoid a “strategic drift” of TDC concepts, perceptions and practices.

旅游目的地竞争力（TDC）文献综述

目的

本研究旨在通过系统的文献分析，为过去十年中已发表的关于旅游目的地竞争力 (TDC) 的研究提供当前和有组织的见解。

设计/方法/方法

通过系统收集 1983 年至 2021 年发表的文献并根据作者、年份、文章标题、期刊名称和 TDC 决定因素等类别进行编码，进行了全面审查。

发现

本次审查的主要发现表明，不存在衡量旅游目的地竞争力的通用项目、属性或指标；许多定义和衡量要素从不同角度的复杂性和可变性描绘了竞争力的多方面概念；TDC以目的地形象、旅游体验和忠诚度为重点的比较优势和竞争优势来源之间的协同关系。

研究限制/影响

研究中考虑的研究工作仅来自索引和同行评审的期刊出版物。

原创性/价值

研究结果表明，缺乏研究来解决 TDC 领域内目的地形象、旅游体验和忠诚度之间的关系。未来的研究应考虑补充旅游供需方面，以避免 TDC 概念、观念和实践的“战略漂移”。
