Benchmarking of productivity of international tourism destinations with Malmquist-TFV index

Although micro-level productivity and effectiveness measurement in the tourism sector has been an important research topic in recent years, there is limited research at the macro level. For this reason, it is aimed to compare the productivity and efficiency of the tourism sector of international tourism destinations and to establish a methodology for this. In this context, the total factor productivity of international tourism destinations has been analyzed. Technical Efficiency Change (TED), Technological Efficiency Change (TKD), Pure Technique Efficiency Change (SED), Scale Activity Change (？ED) and Total Factor Productivity Change (TFVD) were calculate related to tourism sectors of 19 countries in the period of 2013, 2015 and 2017 by using Malmquist Total Factor Efficiency (TFV) method based on Data Envelopment Analysis (VZA) in the study
