In this study, whether or not, there exists a statistical correlation between the factors used for sorting the travel and tourism sector competitiveness, and the economic impact of tourism in these countries has been scrutinized. In light of the assessments, the factors included in the travel and tourism sector competitiveness index can be seen to have a positive influence on the tourist arrivals of countries.
