Abstract

This research aims to assess the competitiveness of the tourism sector in Arab countries and identify the factors influencing this competitiveness. The Travel and Tourism Development Index (TTDI) was used as the primary tool to analyse the performance of Arab countries in this field. The research findings revealed significant variation in the level of competitiveness among Arab countries, with some nations, such as the Gulf states, achieving outstanding performance supported by substantial investments in tourism infrastructure and product diversification. On the other hand, other countries faced significant challenges, including political and economic instability and a lack of accurate data. This study seeks to provide an explanation of tourism sector competitiveness in Arab countries and to identify the main factors affecting this competition. It also offers recommendations to enhance tourism competitiveness in the region, such as diversifying tourism products, investing in technology, promoting environmental sustainability, and encouraging regional cooperation.
