Resumen
- English
  Tourism destination competitiveness is a multidimensional concept that is widely studied in the academic literature. The corruption affects countries' business environment, generating negative image and barriers, so hindering its' ability to compete as a global player. This paper analyses this relation in the tourism industry in a sample of South American countries through a comparison within a five-year period based on the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) with the variation of Corruption Perception Index (CPI). An exploratory analysis to verify the upward and downward in these monitors was performed. The relation between TTCI and CPI was verified by a regression analysis. This research contributes directly to addressing a topic rarely explored in the tourism area, the influence of corruption perception in destination competitiveness. The results confirm that corruption perception impacts on tourism competitiveness of countries, but in presence of strong sources of tourism attractiveness, such as Mega events, this relation was reduced.

  A competitividade dos destinos turísticos é um conceito multidimensional que é amplamente estudado na literatura acadêmica. A corrupção afeta ambiente de negócios dos países, gerando imagem negativa e barreiras, dificultando sua capacidade de competir como ator global. Este artigo analisa essa relação na indústria do turismo em uma amostra dos países sul americanos através de uma comparação dentro de cinco anos com base no Índice de Competitividade em Viagens e Turismo (TTCI) com a variação do Índice de Percepção de Corrupção (IPC) e faz uma análise exploratória para verificar a ascensão e descida nesses monitores. A relação entre TTCI e IPC foi verificada por análise de regressão. Esta pesquisa contribui diretamente para abordar um tópico raramente explorado na área do turismo, a influência da percepção de corrupção na competitividade do destino. Os resultados confirmam que a percepção de corrupção afeta a competitividade do turismo dos países, mas em presença de fortes fontes de atratividade turística, como megaeventos, essa relação foi reduzida.
