By contrast, studies about the attractiveness of tourism destinations as possible business locations for sport manufacturing companies have barely been examined. In order to contribute to closing this research gap, this quantitative study provides insights based on destination attractiveness by analysing sport, tourism, and specific economic attractiveness variables (conducted in the German-speaking Alps; N=119 sport manufacturing companies; based on the Competitiveness Theory of Porter). These variables are represented by nine factors measured by 36 items considered pertinent for alpine tourism destinations. Furthermore, hierarchical regression analyses were used to explore factors influencing the attractiveness of a location for sport manufacturing companies, whilst the importance of different statements was evaluated. Results show that 1) the sport-specific factor “Sport Events” influences the attractiveness of sport manufacturing locations, 2) differences between Tyrol and other regions were identified relating to the importance of specific factors. Furthermore, implications were derived for governments and destination managers, allowing conclusions to be drawn about competitive advantages. Based on the results, destination benchmarking and benchmarking initiatives can be identified for the future. 2020 artículo científico 2414-6641 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=677873370002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677873370002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677873370002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677873370002/677873370002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677873370002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6778 Current Issues in Sport Science application/pdf Universität Bern Current Issues in Sport Science (Suiza) Vol.5 |
