Abstrakt
The 20th century was a period of turbulent socio-economic changes, which
resulted in tourism becoming one of the fastest developing areas of life. In contemporary
world economy, competitiveness is the essential mechanism of development. Since the
beginning of the 1980s, new concepts of competitiveness have caused increased interest
in the competitiveness of regions. Competitiveness is the ability to be successful in
economic competition. Competition in regions should be understood as their ability to
achieve for themselves - as opposed to for other regions – the best possible position in
the range of regions competing for attracting new development initiatives to their territories.
Every region has a competitive advantage which results from its natural conditions
or historical accumulation of resources. Europe is the main receptive area of the world.
Countries of the European Union are Europe’s dominant tourist destination. This attempt
at evaluating the tourist competitiveness of the EU countries has been based on indices
concerning the touristic functionality of the studied countries and conducted according
to the Julian Perkal method, which makes it possible to calculate the synthetic index of
evaluating the studied phenomenon according to its standardized features. In the ranking
of countries that have a noticeable competitive advantage, based on absolute features, the
fi rst position is occupied by Spain, followed by Italy, France, Germany and the United
Kingdom. The synthetic Wi indices, calculated on the basis of relative features, have indicated
countries with a dominant touristic function, such as Malta, Cyprus, Greece, Austria and Luxembourg. For many EU countries tourism is the engine behind their economic
development.
