Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the connection between price competitiveness and overall tourism competitiveness of the Balkans and Eastern Europe Countries. By comparing the selected economic variables, a comparative analysis of the price competitiveness in tourism for this group of countries in the period from 2007 to 2018 was carried out. The empirical research was designed to test whether the Balkans and Eastern Europe countries which are more competitive in tourism simultaneously have lower price competitiveness. The hypothesis has been tested by using modern statistical software. The significance of this research arises from the current debate whether the price factors of competitiveness in tourism are sustainable in long run. Taking into account the specificities of the tourism sector in different countries, and combining observations and suggestions, the paper could give significant contribution to understanding the trends, issues and policies in this area.
