Abstract

The competitiveness ranking of the World Economic Forum is based on the tourism and travel competitiveness index. A good location in the ranking provides good reputation and international prestige for any country. The edition in 2017 includes only 20 countries in Central America and the Caribbean; Cuba is not found. This is because indicators that are measured to determine the tourism and travel competitiveness index do not have an evaluation in these countries because they lack the relevant information. The objective of the research is to make, based on the available information, a study of tourism competitiveness indicators and select the variables that are potential predictors of the World Economic Forum score, to subsequently establish a model in which the position of the countries that are not. The principal components analysis was used to reduce the number of variables. To ensure that the selected variables are good predictors of the ranking, Cluster Analysis will be used from case analysis. It is obtained from a component that the predictor variables of the ranking are: Capital Investment, Individual Government Expenditures, Total Contribution to Employment, Direct Contribution to Employment, Total Contribution to Gross Domestic Product, Direct Contribution to Total Contribution to Gross Domestic Análisis de variables predictores del índice de competitividad en los destinos turísticos.
