Abstract

Tourism sector has become quite important in recent years due to its contributions to the balance of payments, employment and national income of both developed and developing countries. In order for countries to become a stronger global actor today, they need to increase their global competitiveness not only in the product markets and industry, but also in the tourism sector. In this perspective, in this study, which covers the period 2003-2017, the level of specialization and competitiveness in the tourism sector, which is a key role for the Turkish economy, were analyzed and “the Revealed Comparative Advantages” approach was used in the analyses. The Balassa index was used to determine the level of competition. In order to determine the level of specialization, the Net Trade index and the Export Import Ratio index were used. According to the results of the analysis, Turkey has provided expertise in the tourism sector and has a moderate competitive edge.

Özet

Turizm sektörü son yıllarda hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan ülkelerin ödemeler bilançosuna, istihdamına ve milli gelirine yaptığı katkılar nedeniyle oldukça önemli bir hale gelmiştir. Günümüzde ülkelerin daha güçlü bir küresel aktör olmaları için sadece ürün piyasalarında ve sanayi sektöründe değil, turizm sektöründe de küresel rekabet güçlerini arttırması gerekmektedir. Bu perspektifte, 2003-2017 dönemini ele alan bu çalışmada, Türkiye ekonomisi için kilit bir rolü olan turizm sektöründe uzmanlaşma düzeyi ve rekabet gücü analiz edilmiş ve analizlerde “Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler” yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Rekabet düzeyinin belirlenmesi için Balassa endeksi, uzmanlaşma seviyesinin belirlenmesi için ise Net Ticaret endeksi ve İhracat İthalat Oranı endeksi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre Türkiye turizm sektöründe uzmanlaşma sağlamıştır ve orta derecede rekabet üstünlüğüne sahiptir.
