Summary: | This paper reviews the understanding I have gained from several years of research, and from several more years of ongoing discussions with industry leaders regarding the nature of competitiveness among tourism destinations. This understanding has been captured, in summary form, in the model of Destination Competitiveness/Sustainability (Ritchie and Crouch, 2003). This model contains seven (7) components which we have found to play a major role, from a policy perspective, in determining the competitiveness/sustainability of a tourism destination. In addition to the valuable understanding which these seven components provide from a policy perspective, the specific elements of each the major components provide a more useful/practical guidance to those who are responsible for the ongoing management of a DMO (Destination Management Organization). With this overview in mind, this paper will provide a detailed review and explanation of the model that I have developed with my colleague, Dr. Geoffrey I. Crouch of Latrobe University in Melbourne, Australia. Based on previous presentations throughout the world, it has proven very helpful to both academics and practitioners who seek to understand the complex nature of tourism destination competitiveness/sustainability. KEY WORDS: competitiveness; sustainability; policy; destination management organization management. Este artigo faz uma revisao do que aprendi em varios anos de pesquisa e de discussoes com lideres da industria sobre a natureza da competitividade entre destinos turisticos. Esse entendimento foi capturado, em forma de resumo, no modelo de destino competitividade/sustentabilidade (Ritchie e Crouch, 2003). Este modelo contem sete componentes que encontramos tendo um papel importante, a partir de uma perspectiva politica, na determinacao da competitividade/sustentabilidade de um destino turistico. Alem do valioso insight desses sete componentes a partir de uma perspectiva politica, os elementos especificos de cada componente fornecem uma orientacao mais util e pratica para os que sao responsaveis pela gestao permanente de uma organizacao de administracao de destino turistico (DMO, em ingles). Com essa visao em mente, este artigo fara uma revisao e uma explicacao detalhada do modelo que desenvolvi com o meu colega, o dr. Geoffrey I. Crouch de Latrobe University, em Melbourne, na Australia. Com base em apresentacoes anteriores em todo o mundo, tem-se revelado muito util tanto para academicos quanto para profi |
