Abstract

This contribution focuses on analyzing the Health and Hygiene pillar of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) (as one of the most important determinants influencing tourism development) in the context of the European area and on assessing how this aspect is time-dependent. The goal of our research was to find out whether there is a statistically significant relationship in the values of the Health and Hygiene pillar among the surveyed European countries in time. Besides that, we verified the assumption that if the country is ranked at the forefront within the GDP per capita indicator, this country will be also located on the forefront of the Health and Hygiene pillar of TTCI. We focus specifically on results for Slovakia. To verify the hypotheses we used Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression analysis, Sign test, and Wilcoxon Matched Pairs test. The results show that variations in the country’s level of health and hygiene change only slowly over time, and it is difficult to significantly modify them. We identified possible areas (the number of physician density and the number of hospital beds) for improving the country’s health level, especially for the worst-rated surveyed countries.
