dc.description.abstractCompetitiveness has become a vital issue for tourism destinations, which provides destinations a high ground to strengthen their positions in the marketplace and benefit more from the positive impacts of tourism, as well as preserving the resources. In this study, tourism and travel competitiveness performances of the ten most-visited Muslim-majority countries are examined comparatively by using the data issued by World Economic Forum’s Competitiveness Indexes. The study aims to determine the power and the directions of the sub-competitiveness factors as well as reveal the differences among those countries, benefiting from both Multidimensional Scaling Analysis and ANOVA, which are employed together. Findings indicate that Infrastructure Index shows the highest correlation with the Overall Competitiveness Index, followed by the T&T Policy-Enabling Condition index. On the other hand, the correlations between Enabling Environment and T&T Policy Enabling Conditions and, Enabling Environment and Natural-Cultural Resources is found to be negatively correlated which provides a vital issue for practitioners. © 2022, Statistical Economic and Social Research and.
