“…In general, from a supply perspective, a competitive destination always aspires to a high level of tourism performance (Hanafiah and Zulkifly, 2019) and even tourism prosperity (Sanchez and Lopez, 2015). The eventual consequence of these strategic efforts may be located in the social welfare of the destination (Chin and Hampton, 2020). From a demand perspective, if tourists perceive a destination to be more competitive than others, they may be highly likely to return or recommend the destination to others (El-Said and Aziz, 2019; Woyo and Slabbert, 2021a, 2021b; Zainuddin et al , 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to provide a systematic review of the literature on destination competitiveness. It explores research themes and approaches, and outlines an agenda for future research. Design/methodology/approach One hundred and eighty-three journal articles on destination competitiveness published in English since 2010 were collected. Content analysis was performed. Findings The authors found that sustainable development and smart tourism were popular themes related to destination competitiveness. Recent studies still relied heavily on Ritchie and Crouch’s (2000) model or Dwyer and Kim’s (2003) model. The authors also offer constructive insights for future research, proposing that research seek more input from residents, take an advanced integrated approach between supply and demand, adopt more core theories, focus on less researched types of destinations, explore the further contribution of smart tourism and adopt a negative lens to study the antecedents and consequences of destination competitiveness. The adoption of a longitudinal study approach is also suggested. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature because of the scope of its review and perspective of discussion. Previous review papers have only focused on the factors and indicators of tourism destination competitiveness in different settings. We extend our literature review to research themes and approaches, and make suggestions for future research directions.

“…Eventually, with the absence of tourism activities and minimal farm works, the staff were granted furlough. Crisis like this not only affect businesses economically but have negative implications to the quality of life for residents which should not be ignored (Chin, 2017;Chin & Hampton, 2020). Only EPG and TMF remained open, while SEV decided to temporarily close for two months.…”

“…The growing interest in sustainable holiday experiences requires destinations to identify effective management to stay competitive in the market (Chin et al, 2017;Chin and Hampton, 2020;Chin, 2017). Numerous studies have found that agritourism can be the right apparatus to balance the needs of tourists with those of rural communities, whilst simultaneously contributing towards sustainable development (Ammirato et al, 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of farm-to-table (FTT) activities in agritourism towards sustainable development based on three agritourism farms in Brunei. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on qualitative data using semi-structured interviews with 23 participants involved in the management of the farms. In-depth interviews are considered the most appropriate approach to gain the unexplored perspectives of the agriculture community at the three agritourism farms. Findings The study found that FTT activities imparted in agritourism contribute towards sustainable development economically, socially and environmentally. FTT leads to the establishment of small medium and micro enterprises, which, in turn, creates employment for the local people. It also plays a part in preserving the ethno-culinary heritage of indigenous food, promoting food localism and sustainable agriculture. These findings suggest that FTT activities play an important role in revitalizing the local community. The outcome of this empirical research may enable planners to better formulate regional policy based on a balanced approach taking into account the three dimensions of sustainability towards agritourism development. From a theoretical standpoint, this study adds value to the literature by identifying the contributions of FTT activities towards sustainable development emphasising on the consumption of local ethnic food and food localism. Originality/value The contributions of agritourism for local farms has not been extensively discussed especially in Brunei’s local agriculture industry. This study will provide evidence that FTT activities contribute towards a moderate form of food activism; one that re-forges the disrupted linkages between people, nature and cultural heritage.
