Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose an innovative direction in order to analyze the determinants of tourism performance. The literature on this topic reveals diverging results about the impacts of the determinants of tourism performance. This paper advocates for the identification of the multiple and complex effects of the determinants in order to overcome the characterization of single net effects derived from an average behavior. A two-stage efficiency analysis is implemented, mixing Data Envelopment Analysis and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis. An illustration about the tourism efficiency in French regions is proposed and emphasizes the multiple impacts of the determinants.
