Analysis of the Global Price Competitiveness of Tourism with particular reference to Australia

价格竞争力是旅游流量的一个关键决定因素，本项目将衡量和解释全球竞争力格局。 在调查人员先前工作的基础上，它将扩大竞争力的衡量标准，并制定衡量一揽子旅游竞争力的新方法。 产业生产率的跨国差异是竞争力不同的主要原因;生产率将使用投入和产出价格来衡量。 将分析生产力的模式，并检验在其他服务业观察到的生产力与真实的收入成反比的假设。

Price competitiveness is a key determinant of tourism flows, and this project will measure and explain global patterns in competitiveness. Building on earlier work by the investigators, it will expand the measures of competitiveness and develop a new method for measuring competitiveness in package tourism. Cross country differences in industry productivity are a primary reason why competitiveness differs; productivity will be measured using input and output prices. Patterns in productivity will be analysed, and the hypothesis that productivity varies inversely with real incomes, observed in other service industries, will be tested.
