Abstract

Drawing on the resource-based view, this study examines the impact of environmental-driven, infrastructure-driven and resources-driven factors on travel and tourism policy and enabling conditions. Using a multilevel sample of 136 economies categorized in 15 geographical areas, and conducting a multilevel path analyses, we find that ICT readiness and ground and port infrastructure are the most important factors that predict the travel & tourism policy and enabling conditions construct. Based on these findings, which underline the meaning of competitiveness, the study has several theoretical and practical implications.
