Abstract
The complexity of the tourism industry creates the need for the continuous evaluation of tourism destination competitiveness (TDC) models. For this reason, a proper review of the previous literature on competitiveness models and determinants was done to understand better the pertinent factors affecting TDC. This chapter reviews the competitiveness models developed by Porter (1990), Ritchie and Crouch (1993), Dwyer and Kim (2003), Heath (2003), and Gooroochurn and Sugiyarto (2005). Key criteria and determinants of competitiveness are synthesized and categorized. Finally, learning from the systematic review and their implications are listed.
