Resumen
This study investigates whether the focus on inputs as measurement of tourism
competitiveness provides a comprehensive understanding of the competitive position of a
destination. Specifically the investigation is applied to Costa Rica in the context of the Central
American region aiming at evaluating the impact of tourism competitiveness. The study applied
descriptive and inductive statistics for an evaluation impact. This study found that the inputs focus
is inconsistent with competitiveness as measured on the performance of a destination aiming at
enhancing the quality of life. This inconsistency could confound a rational process of decisionmaking
at the destination level. Two relevant algorithms are suggested to streamline a rational
process relevant for destination managers in Costa Rica.
