Spain Has Occurred In International Tourism Competitiveness rating
Spain has happened in the international tourism competitiveness ranking of WEF (World Economic Forum) from No. 6 in 2009 to No. 8 in 2011 in just two years, a job lost per year. In the new scenario in the U.S. or the UK, for example, and are more competitive tourist Spain. The time required to start a business, the quality of the education system, carbon dioxide emissions or the effects of the tax system are identified as some of our weakest points.
No country is competitive in all sectors is not Germany or Japan tourism agriculture it is in flower Netherlands and France in fashion. Perhaps it would have to rethink what we are, or potentially can be, very competitive in this country, including the sectors that can generate more employment (from among the activities that could play first) is the priority for which bet at this time.
Taking both the field of tourism axioms, indisputable pillar of the Spanish economy, perhaps we should be clear that this is an area for which betting forcefully from the government: because the resort is the first industry creates jobs in these difficult times , because it has proven its resistance to the crisis by dragging and multiplier effect of many other sectors (land and sea, for example) or because it is the image that a country is reaching out with all that that means for your economy.
Lest anyone escape the responsibility that corresponds to, we could talk about competitiveness, country-sector competitiveness and competitive enterprise.
On the third level, it is clear that the competitiveness of Spain as a destination is also determined by that of their tourism businesses, who must compete on a macro level to other destinations and in turn, at the micro level with its competitors in the same destination businesses should be aware that in order to become the chosen destination within the particular need to develop enterprise-level benefits, since these are the organizations that make them unique and different from the same area, this , doors to outside, because inside, many are rethinking their business model and management, in a kind of industry where the main production factor is human resources, needless to add that the keys are in the productivity or quality of service both customer loyalty in the tourist world.
As for the benefits-sector is concerned, there is no doubt that governments must work smarter, using its original features and exceptional, and pull factors making them odd, it is called in tourism differentiators, the only ones who away from the comparison when the tourist chooses his destiny as the differentiation that can give us the Canadian sunshine all year round, hot springs Galicia, La Rioja wine, for destination competitiveness lies in the exploitation of competitive advantage.
And we finish as we started: in a changing economic cycle type imposes another tourist and with it the need to accelerate the Administration transformative dynamics of the tourist market from the supply side. Moving from promotion to marketing promoting safe return to the destination; deepening a branding strategy to cross the territory geographically, to recover the concept of competitiveness plans, establishing affirmative action policies in favor of the seasonal (fiscal, airport, etc.), lead a real homogenization of national legislation to facilitate investment by entrepreneur and is a guarantee for the tourist, are some of the many bets that a government can and should do. And something that every government should be present in the definition of many of its policies, resource allocation and even strategic place to place tourism in its organizational structure, is the mainstreaming of this sector: flexible transport services, security, adequate sanitation, quality schools and a long list of disparate departments are competencies, all aspects, which “coincidentally” also improve the quality of life of the Spanish themselves.
