“…Firstly, with regard to the relationship from EG to TC, scholars have explored various influencing factors of TC, including the information and communications technology [17,18], globalisation [19], hotel industry [20], human resources [17], health and hygiene [21], environmental management [22], transportation [23], consumer protection legislation [24] and corruption [25]. By contrast, limited research has been performed in terms of economic impacts on the competitiveness of the tourism sector.…”

On the basis of the coupling coordination degree (CCD) model and information entropy weight method, this study examined the relationship between tourism competitiveness and economic growth of 56 developing countries from 2008 to 2017. The results show that: (1) the overall status of the CCD between tourism competitiveness and economic growth was in a state of unbalance that was mainly caused by the lag of economic growth, which demonstrates the important contribution of tourism in developing regions. (2) the CCD has been gradually improving since 2008, and the differences amongst the CCDs of developing countries have been shrinking and (3) the spatial distribution of the CCD between tourism competitiveness and economic growth has heterogeneity.

“…Technology can be an imperative means for visitors, particularly when looking for information about planned destinations, accommodations, landscape, weather and climate trend, economic and geopolitical and conditions, online travel reservations, procurement, and payment, as well as capturing memories (Law, Chan, & Wang, 2018). In addition to that, ICT applications make a tourist spot and its participants more efficient, as it meets the dynamic requirements of the modern tourism industry (Petrović, Milićević, & Djeri, 2017).…”

This study examines the association between tourism development, technology innovation, and carbon emissions by simultaneously testing Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in China. The study develops and uses a novel composite index of tourism development and technology innovation. Utilizing quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2017Q4, the study employs QARDL (Quantile Autoregressive Distributive Lag) approach and Granger causality‐in‐quantiles. The outcome of the study reveals that the observed relationship is quantile‐dependent, which may disclose misleading results in previous studies using traditional linear methodologies (such as OLS/ARDL) that address the averages. Primarily, the findings indicate that tourism development (TOR) and technology innovation (TII) significantly mitigate the level of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) in the long run at lower‐higher (0.05–0.95) emissions quantiles and higher‐highest (0.7–0.95) emissions quantiles, respectively. Economic growth (GDP) and globalization (GLO) exert a positive asymmetric influence on CO2 only at lower‐medium (0.05–0.40) emissions quantiles and medium‐higher emissions quantiles (0.50–0.95), respectively. In the short run, TII, and GDP2 possess an insignificant impact across all emissions levels, while TOR shows a positive influence on CO2 only at lowest‐lower (0.05–0.20) emissions quantiles. The study confirms the presence of the EKC hypothesis at lower‐higher (0.05–0.70) emissions quantiles in the long run. Moreover, the outcomes of Granger causality in quantiles confirm asymmetric bidirectional quantile causality between TOR, TII, GLO, and CO2, while a unidirectional causality running from GDP to CO2. The results recommend that the Chinese government should implement integrated “tourism‐technology” policies based on the asymmetric emissions‐reduction effects of tourism and technology innovation in the long run.

“…Almost all developed nations use different ICT applications in order to facilitate international tourists and create synergies (Rehman et al, 2019). The application of ICT makes a tourism destination complementary, more attractive, and more competitive, because it satisfies the variable and sophisticated needs of contemporary tourists (Petrović et al, 2017). As it is shown by Dima and Vasilache (2016), new technology developments were used to modeling the credit risk and create default prediction.…”

“…Many studies have focused on the competitive position of some regions, countries and continents as tourism destinations, such as: the Caribbean (De Keyser & Vanhove, 1994), South Africa (Kim et al, 2000), Australia , Asia Pacific (Enright & Newton, 2005), Cuba (Miller et al, 2008), Serbia (Dwyer et al, 2016), Spanish Mediterranean coast (Sánchez & López, 2015), Central and Eastern European Countries (Petrović & Milićević, 2017b). Although, in the literature special attention was paid the destination competitiveness, the ICT as a factor of destination competitiveness is research subject explored by only a few authors (Petrović & Milićević, 2015;Petrović et al, 2017).…”

“…Competitiveness has attracted considerable attention in the tourism literature, since it is regarded as a crucial factor for the success of tourism destinations (Dwyer & Kim, 2003;Ritchie & Crouch, 2010;Crouch, 2011;Mazanec & Ring, 2011). Although the competitiveness of a tourism destination is an important research subject explored by a large number of authors, the impact of ICT on the destination competitiveness has not been given special attention (Petrović et al, 2017). According to Adeola and Evans (2020, p. 2), "tourism destinations are able to increase online presence via the Internet and become competitive in the global tourism market through off-line connectivity that offers the requisite tools and applications to undertake effective tourism management through collaboration, clustering, and links with private and public tourism and tourism-related actors".…”

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the Information and communication technology (ICT) on the competitiveness of the republics of former Yugoslavia (Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia) as tourism destinations. This paper relies on the correlation analysis and panel regression method. Regression analysis has examined the impact of the ICT on the competitiveness of the republics of Former Yugoslavia (Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia) as tourism destinations. The destination competitiveness is measured by international tourist arrivals and international tourism receipts, while the ICT is measured by the ICT Development Index (IDI). The results indicate that the IDI use has a significant impact on the number of international tourist arrivals and an indirect positive impact on the international tourism receipts. The originality of the research lies in the fact there are no previous studies about the impact of ICT on the competitiveness of the republics of former Yugoslavia as tourism destinations. This study contributes to a better understanding of the impact of ICT on the competitiveness of a tourism destination by linking the IDI with tourist arrivals and tourism revenues.
