“…Although some earlier literature (e.g., Sinclair and Stabler, 1997) suggested the appropriateness of using the exchange rate variable as a proxy of tourism prices, the relative form of tourism prices adjusted by exchange rates takes multiple factors of tourism prices into account and has been more popular in recent international studies.…”

Greater China, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, contributes significantly to both regional and global tourism developments. Empirical research on tourism demand modelling and forecasting has attracted increasing attention of scholars both within and beyond this region. One hundred and eighty articles are identified that were published in both English and Chinese language journals since the beginning of the 1990s. This study presents the largest scale of literature survey on tourism demand studies. Furthermore, this is the first attempt in tourism demand review studies that focuses exclusively on one geographic region and covers bilingual literature. Particular emphasis of this review is placed on research development, geographic focus, data type and frequency, measurement of tourism demand, modelling and forecasting techniques, demand elasticity analysis, forecasting exercises and emerging research trends. Comparisons between the two bodies of literature published in two languages show a number of research gaps, such as the diversity and sophistication of the research methodology, rigour of the modelling and forecasting process and theoretical foundations of demand analysis. Correspondingly, constructive recommendations are made to further advance tourism demand studies related to Greater China.

“…In fact, there is some evidence that employment in the tourism sector is segmented both horizontally and vertically along a gender line (Sinclair and Stabler, 1997). Although horizontal segmentation may go either way, men or women being more prevalent in some sectors within the tourism industry, vertical segmentation is synonymous to men occupying most top-level positions.…”

Using a large administrative matched employer-employee dataset we analyse the gender wage gap in the Portuguese tourism labour market. As background, employment and pay in the tourism industry is thoroughly characterized. Using the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition of the gender wage gap, we find that 45 percent of the gap is due to differences in attributes of male and female workers in tourism. Our estimate of the coefficient of discrimination in the tourism industry (8.4 percent) puts it well below the non-tourism average (15.8).3

“…La literatura económica coincide con estas afirmaciones. Desde el análisis del papel del turismo internacional en la provisión de divisas, o su contribución al equilibrio del déficit comercial de la balanza de pagos, hasta su capacidad para generar empleo, o para incrementar los ingresos fiscales -y, con ello, las posibilidades de intervención pública para la mejora del bienestar de los ciudadanos, son muchas las contribuciones (entre otros, véase Cooper, Fletcher, Fyall, Gilbert y Wanhill, 2007;Cortés-Jiménez y Artís, 2005;Goded, 2002;Lanza y Pigliaru, 1994;Lanza et al, 2003;Lickorish y Jenkins, 2000;Pearce, 1989;Sinclair, 1998;Sinclair y Stabler, 1997;Tribe, 2005;Vanhove, 2005) que reconocen el potencial del turismo como instrumento de desarrollo económico.…”

ResumenCompetitividad y crecimiento se han convertido en dos cuestiones clave en el debate sobre el papel del turismo como instrumento de desarrollo económico. Este artículo demuestra que existe una relación directa y estadísticamente significativa entre ambas variables, y que una mayor competitividad turística favorece un mayor crecimiento turístico de los destinos. Es cierto que esta influencia no se produce con igual intensidad en todos los aspectos utilizados para medir la competitividad turística, por lo que los países deberían apostar por aquellos que mayor capacidad tienen para generar crecimiento. Y también es cierto, y queda patente en este artículo, que hay países que aprovechan mejor su capacidad competitiva que otros, lo que se traduce en la consecución de niveles de crecimiento turístico superiores a los que cabría esperar en virtud de sus competitividad. AbstractCompetitiveness and growth have become two key issues in the debate on the role of tourism as an economic development tool. This article demonstrates a statistically significant direct relationship between two variables, and that further enhances the competitive tourist destination tourism growth. It is true that this influence does not occur with equal intensity in all aspects used for measuring tourism competitiveness, so that countries should opt for those aspects that have enhanced capacity to generate growth. And also true, and is evidenced in this article, that some countries better their competitive advantage than others, resulting in achieving higher levels of tourism growth would be expected by virtue of their competitiveness.Keywords: tourism growth, competitiveness, tourism destinations, canonical correlation, discriminant analysis, World Economic Forum JEL clasification: F35, L83, O19, Q01 IntroducciónNumerosas instituciones han puesto de manifiesto la importancia del turismo como motor de transformación social y herramienta para favorecer el desarrollo económico (OECD, 2009; UNWTO, 2005; WTTC, 2005), así como su potencial de crecimiento; hasta el punto de que se prevé que el turismo generará en un horizonte no mayor a diez años el 11,3% del PIB mundial y el 8,3% del empleo (WTTC, 2005). La literatura económica coincide con estas afirmaciones. Desde el análisis del papel del turismo internacional en la provisión de divisas, o su contribución al equilibrio del déficit comercial de la balanza de pagos, hasta su capacidad para generar empleo, o para incrementar los ingresos fiscales -y, con ello, las posibilidades de intervención pública para la mejora del bienestar de los ciudadanos, son muchas las contribuciones En principio, parece evidente que, para que el turismo se consolide como una potente herramienta de generación de empleo y riqueza en un territorio, contribuyendo a la mejora del bienestar de sus ciudadanos, éste territorio debe ser atractivo, generando una dinámica de demanda turística que contribuya al aumento del flujo de bienes COMPETITIVIDAD VERSUS CRECIMIENTO EN DESTINOS TURÍSTICOS.
