The Impact of Tourism Policies on the Competitiveness of Tourist Destinations

Abstract

The tourism sector, as an integral component of the global economy, not only directly propels the economic growth of numerous countries and regions but also fosters cultural exchange and environmental preservation indirectly. On a global scale, the formulation and implementation of tourism policies have become pivotal factors in enhancing the competitiveness of tourist destinations. These policies not only effectively promote infrastructure development and the refinement of tourism products and services but also exert profound influences on environmental conservation, industry guidance, and talent cultivation. Increasingly, countries and regions recognize that scientifically formulated and balanced tourism policies represent an effective means to achieve sustainable economic growth and safeguard cultural heritage. The diversification and innovative implementation of tourism policies directly or indirectly impact the attractiveness and competitiveness of a destination, thus necessitating a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors in policy-making to achieve harmony and equilibrium.
