This third edition analyses the T & T competitiveness of individual countries around the world. Switzerland, Austria and Germany have the most attractive environments for developing the travel and tourism industry, according to the third annual Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report, released today by the World Economic Forum. France, Canada, Spain, Sweden, the United States, Australia and Singapore complete the top ten. At the core of this Report is the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI). The aim of the TTCI, which covers a record 133 economies this year, is to provide a comprehensive strategic tool for measuring "the factors and policies that make it attractive to develop the T & T sector in different countries." By providing detailed assessments of the T & T environments in countries worldwide, the results can be used by all stakeholders to work together to improve the industry's competitiveness in their national economies, thereby contributing to national growth and prosperity. The Report contains detailed profiles for each of the 133 economies featured in the study, as well as an extensive section of data tables with global rankings covering over 70 indicators included in the TTCI. In addition, the Report includes insightful contributions from a number of industry experts. These chapters explore issues such as the impact of higher oil prices on the tourism industry, the importance of price competitiveness for attracting tourists, and the extent to which the TTCI explains differences in travel intensity among countries.

This book explores how companies combine technological innovation and competitive actions that create new opportunities for business growth in the international market. The complexity of designing today’s technology platforms requires profound knowledge in multiple areas. Technology development and commercialization as an ongoing competitive process involves enabling and inhibiting mechanisms, which govern the speed and acceleration of technological innovation. To compete more effectively, potential competitors are using coopetition and pooling their resources for shared gain in areas where they do not compete directly. Thus, a thorough examination of the current paradigms, theories, and frameworks is needed to increase our understanding of the technology-innovation-competitiveness linkages of business growth. This book brings together recent developments and methodological contributions within technological innovation, international competitiveness, and business growth that bridge the existing gaps and simultaneously advances the debate on this research topic.
