Resumen: el estudio se orienta a determinar si los agentes de riesgo, como la población residente y los visitantes, pueden percibir los factores de la competitividad de los destinos turísticos. Para lograr dicho objetivo se revisó el estado del arte de la literatura académica sobre el tema, se identificaron los modelos teóricos más reconocidos y las variables e indicadores utilizados con más frecuencia. El estudio empírico, realizado en dos destinos mexicanos de sol y playa, sugiere que los agentes de riesgo pueden percibir algunos de esos factores. Y aunque sólo se empleó un muestreo de conveniencia, en investigaciones futuras se podría utilizar uno probabilístico. Este trabajo contribuye a profundizar en la comprensión de los factores que determinan la competitividad de los destinos turísticos, y trasciende el empleo de índices nacionales abstractos o estudios descriptivos.Palabras clave: competitividad turística; desarrollo sostenible; estudios empíricos; turistas; bienestar en destinos.Determinants of tourist competitiveness in Mexican sun and beach destinationsAbstract: this study is aimed at determining whether the agents of risk, such as the resident population and the visitors, can perceive the competitiveness factors of tourist destinations. In order to achieve this goal the state of the art of the academic literature on the subject was reviewed. Likewise, the most recognized theoretical models and the most frequently used variables and indicators were identified. This empirical study, carried out in two Mexican sun and beach destinations, suggest that the agents of risk can perceive some of those factors. And although a convenience sampling was used now, a probabilistic one could be used in future research. This study contributes to deepening our understanding of the factors that determine tourist destinations’ competitiveness; it goes beyond the use of national abstract indexes or descriptive research.Key words: tourist competitiveness; sustainable development; empirical studies; tourists; well-being at destinations.
