A research on provide competitive advantage of energy use on the tourism sector

Abstract

The tourism sector plays a locomotive role in the development of the country and in this regard, the energy factor plays a vital role in providing locally sourced conditions for competitive advantage. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between energy production and the tourism sector within a competitive advantage. In this selected issue five countries (China, the USA, Germany, Russia, and Turkey) have been compared. The findings show that energy creates a competitive advantage in service infrastructure and transportation facilities, especially in tourism. Identifying the relationship between energy use and tourism will contribute to local governments to determine an appropriate strategy for energy management and sustainable tourism development policies, and reveal how energy will create a competitive advantage over the tourism sector.
