主 题:competitiveness innovation prosperity tourism factors indicators
摘 要:Competitiveness is a wide concept applied to many fields, especially in economics. The study of tourism competitiveness has been focused on different factors that can enhance the prosperity of a destination. One of these factors is innovation. Innovation makes destination's enterprises more advanced and efficient, therefore more productive. Innovation is an enhancer of competitiveness and a generator of prosperity because innovation in every aspect (technology, knowledge, organization, and processes) will provide a better quality of life for the inhabitants of the destination. The incidence of innovation on these concepts is validated by a structural equation model. We measure innovation by a range of indicators and through a factor analysis; we get the most relevant indicators of innovation for the model developed in Spain.
