  <dc:title xml:lang="eng">SIMPLE TOURISM SECTOR DEVELOPMENT INDEX : CRISES VALUES</dc:title>
  <dc:date>2021</dc:date>
  <dc:description xml:lang="eng">Abstract:
Purpose – The paper aims to construct a simple tourism sector development index reacting to crises
occurrences.
Methodology – Paper is two-folded, theoretical background with literature overview and empirical
part based on the DEA method. Instead of using a vast number of different individual indicators
measuring countries’ tourism performance, it is more appropriate to use one composite index to
depict complex tourism development issues in a particular country. The composite index proposed
in this paper TSDI, was developed using DEA encompassing tourism soundness and
macroeconomic data.
Findings – We are especially interested in index values in the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic crises
relatively to the previous and following year. Therefore, the data time series include the annual
data of selected truisms soundness factors from 2016 to 2020. The paper has three hypotheses
dealing with simple tourism sector development index (TSDI) values during crises and the
correlation of this calculated index to The Travel &amp; Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) and
The Global Competitiveness Index (GCI).
Contribution – The paper may offer some basic policy recommendations for policymakers as it
may be applied as a relatively simple tool for professionals to assess future crises or economic
shocks implications on the tourism sector. The TDSI proposed in this paper can point at the
differences in countries’ responses to crises shock that could be influenced by government policies
aimed at tourism sector development. TDSI is, due to its simplicity, a good tool for practitioners
to use in monitoring and placing recommendations for improvements.</dc:description>
