“…Most frequently, the reviewed papers did not adopt a specific theory. The limited theories used included cluster theory (Chin et al , 2017), chaos theory (Altinay and Kozak, 2021), grounded theory (Moradi et al , 2022a, 2022b), stakeholder theory (Zehrer and Hallmann, 2015), forgotten effects theory (Perez-Romero et al , 2021) and resource-based theory (Zhu et al , 2021). This promising trend first emerged in 2017.…”

“…If destination competitiveness is regarded as an outcome, or tourists’ perceptions of the destinations, several of its antecedents can influence either supply or demand. On the supply side, representative antecedents were found to include destination branding (Miličević et al , 2017), the business environment (Ivanov and Ivanova, 2016), sustainability (Cucculelli and Goffi, 2016; Dodds and Holmes, 2020) and environmental value (Esparon et al , 2015), quality of government and support (Lee, 2015; Moradi et al , 2022a, 2022b), education and training (Andrades and Dimanche, 2019) and innovative technologies (Cimbaljević et al , 2019; Milićević et al , 2020a, 2020b). Other antecedents were less evident, including consumer protection legislation (Petrovic and Milicevic, 2017), crisis management (Xu et al , 2021) and corruption (negative, Kubickova and Smith, 2019).…”

Destination competitiveness since 2010: research themes, approaches, and agenda

Purpose This study aims to provide a systematic review of the literature on destination competitiveness. It explores research themes and approaches, and outlines an agenda for future research. Design/methodology/approach One hundred and eighty-three journal articles on destination competitiveness published in English since 2010 were collected. Content analysis was performed. Findings The authors found that sustainable development and smart tourism were popular themes related to destination competitiveness. Recent studies still relied heavily on Ritchie and Crouch’s (2000) model or Dwyer and Kim’s (2003) model. The authors also offer constructive insights for future research, proposing that research seek more input from residents, take an advanced integrated approach between supply and demand, adopt more core theories, focus on less researched types of destinations, explore the further contribution of smart tourism and adopt a negative lens to study the antecedents and consequences of destination competitiveness. The adoption of a longitudinal study approach is also suggested. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature because of the scope of its review and perspective of discussion. Previous review papers have only focused on the factors and indicators of tourism destination competitiveness in different settings. We extend our literature review to research themes and approaches, and make suggestions for future research directions.

“…The data came from Scopus, one of the most popular and extensive databases of abstracts and citations from scholarly publications (Baggio, 2017). According to Moradi et al (2022a), Scopus is recognised as a citation database that contains peer-reviewed publications and high-quality online information. The search was conducted using print and online identifiers associated with the journal.…”

PurposeRecognising the literature of a field is vital for advancement in that field. Yet, there has not been a systematic analysis of recent publications published in the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Insights (JHTI). Therefore, this research aims to do a bibliometric analysis of articles published in JHTI during the previous five years.Design/methodology/approachThis study used bibliometric techniques and indicators to analyse JHTI publications from 2018 to 2022. The data utilised in the study were obtained from Scopus and subsequently subjected to analysis through the Bibliometrix software.FindingsThe findings show good collaboration between the production components (country, institution and author) in JHTI. The co-occurrence analysis of keywords comprises five clusters; the co-citation analysis comprises six; and a group of articles connected with psychological aspects and areas such as motivation, attitude, customer engagement, place attachment and behavioural intention was the most remarkable cluster. Sharing economy, destination marketing, destination image and some, to an extent, social media and revenue management are just a few of the niche themes that have the potential to come up.Research limitations/implicationsThis study will be helpful as a roadmap for researchers in different fields who are interested in such studies, as well as for editorial board members and those who work in JHTI.Practical implicationsScholars and practitioners may benefit the most from this research by obtaining insight into the development of JHTI's research and the areas of the hospitality and tourism industries that need more study.Originality/valueThe current study is both necessary and valuable because it is the first to provide insight into the effectiveness and intellectual framework of the hospitality and tourism literature selected by the JHTI.

“…For emerging businesses with relatively limited resources and capabilities, adopting a tourism resource search has become an important strategy to obtain the resources they need to enhance their effectiveness in developing folk sports programs [ 4 ]. Investigating and assimilating tourism resources is pivotal for the progression of folk sports projects, enabling businesses to maximize the use of these resources, develop novel folk sports tourism offerings, and consequently propel tourism development forward [ 5 ]. Therefore, devising approaches to enhance the quality development of varied folk sports tourism initiatives through effective utilization of tourism resources is essential, aiming at their rejuvenation and presenting a critical challenge in need of prompt attention.…”

How to improve the success of new project development through the collection of resources in the preliminary stages of new project development is a new area of research. Given the speed and magnitude of changes in the folk sports market environment, this study analyses the impact of tapping folk tourism resources on sports projects at the project development stage. Through stratified regression analyses of 600 Chinese firms engaged in folk sports project development, this paper finds that tapping internal tourism resources positively affects the Fuzzy Front-End Performance of incremental innovative project development. In contrast, tapping external tourism resources positively affects the Fuzzy Front-End Performance of breakthrough innovation projects. The study also indicates that the speed of environmental change (SEC) positively moderates the relationship between exploring external tourism resources (ERS) and Fuzzy Front-End Performance of incremental innovation projects. In contrast, the magnitude of environmental change (MEC) negatively moderated the relationship between internal tourism resource exploration (IRS) and the FFE-P of similar projects.
