Tourist Destination Competitiveness Model of ex-Yugoslavia countries. Validity in extraordinary circumstances?
No full textThe Main purpose of the paper was to test the robustness of destination competitiveness
model in extreme circumstances, in this case the global pandemic covid-19. Tourism-related data
was gathered for the six countries of former Yugoslavia as their collective history and other geoeconomic factors were assumed to minimize the differences between the countries. Series of
statistical analysis were used to examine the relationship between the Competitiveness Score,
calculated by combining the Competitive Destination Model (Ritchie & Crouch, 2003) and Travel
and Tourism Competitiveness Report (Crotti et al., 2015; Crotti & Misrahi, 2017; Calderwood &
Soshkin, 2019), and the percentage change in the international tourist arrivals, international
tourism receipts and the number of nights stayed in 2020. A simple linear regression led to the
finding of a significant positive relationship between the Competitiveness Score and the
percentage change in the number of arrivals. No significant relationship was found for the other
two variables. This paper represents a foundation in the examination of the predictive features of
the Destination Competitiveness Model in the extraordinary circumstances, such as the global
pandemic
