183 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Esta nota de investigación estudia el impacto de la competitividad de un destino en la contribución del turismo al crecimiento económico, para lo cual se usa una intersección de 131 países. La competitividad del destino se mide según el índice de competitividad de viajes y turismo del Foro Económico Mundial, mientras que la contribución del turismo al crecimiento económico se mide con la metodología de la descomposición del crecimiento. Los resultados revelan que la competitividad de los destinos no tiene un impacto estadístico significativo en la contribución del turismo al crecimiento económico. Las implicaciones para las políticas de turismo y las direcciones para investigaciones futuras también se discuten.

Destination images, holistic images and personal normative beliefs: Predictors of intention to revisit a destination (2016, background): “…impact of tourism in the economic growth of countries and local destinations has been widely confirmed (Song, Dwyer, & Cao, 2012; Tugcu, 2014; Webster & Ivanov, 2014), causing competition among countries in the tourism industry (Dwyer et al., 2009; Molina, Frías-Jamilena, & Castañeda-García,…”
Regional tourism competitiveness using the PROMETHEE approach (2018, background): “…initially included all the subcriteria established by the Tourism and Travel Competitiveness Index, and no new criteria, because the Index covers all the dimensions that must be taken into account when measuring competitiveness (Marti & Puertas, 2016; Webster & Ivanov, 2014; Wu et al. 2012).”
Tourist destination perception and well-being (2017, background): “Even smaller destinations have to compete in international terms (Ritchie and Crouch, 2000; Webster and Ivanov, 2014).”
The Threshold Effects of the Tourism-Led Growth Hypothesis: Evidence from a Cross-sectional Model (2017, background): “Ivanov and Webster (2013) and Webster and Ivanov (2014) adopt the growth decomposition methodology to measure the contribution of tourism to economic growth and investigate the impacts of both tourism GDP and the share of tourism in a country’s GDP.”
The Influence of Destination Image on Tourist Loyalty and Intention to Visit: Testing a Multiple Mediation Approach (2019, background): “The tourism industry has created an actual change for millions of people’s lives by driving development or growth, generating massive revenue, creating various jobs, and reducing poverty among nations across the regional and international borders [3].”
Destination competitiveness: what we know, what we know but shouldn't and what we don't know but should (2016, background): “Webster and Ivanov (2014) assert that there is a fallacious assumption in the existing body of knowledge that competitiveness equates to more visitors, more money spent by those visitors and economic growth in the destination.”
The entrepreneurship research in hospitality and tourism (2019, background): “The H&T industry is a pivotal engine for economic growth in many countries, as it has outperformed the growth rate of many other industries even within environments subject to economic turmoil (Tang and Tan, 2013; Webster and Ivanov, 2014).”
