## Abstract

Tourism industry is an important industry for many countries because this industry can bring a lot of profit and worker opportunity. Tourism enterprise is the element in the tourism industry. Many scholars execute research to understand the compatibility of tourism enterprise. However, past research evaluates the compatibility ability of tourism enterprise based on tourism enterprise entire resource, but past research does not evaluate the compatibility ability of tourism enterprise in detail under consumers’ viewpoint. The goal of the work is to build the framework to evaluate the competitive ability of tourism enterprises based on tourism resource in each tourism destination. Based on this framework, tourism enterprise can understand its competitive ability in special tourism regions. Some advantages of the proposed method and future research should be taken over finally.

## Body

## 1. Introduction

Resource-based view (RBV) theory advocates that an enterprise can possess a long-term competitive advantage if its own internal resources have strategic value, rarity, and inimitable and are difficult to transfer [1, 2]. In the tourism industry, there are many different types of tourism resource. Some tourism resources are public goods such as landscape in tourism destination, which can attract traveler but can be considered as tourism resource for every tourism enterprise. Some tourism resources are private good such as exclusive partner. Those partners only cooperate with a single tourism enterprise, so they can be taken as exclusive tourism resource for this tourism enterprise in the tourism destination.Each tourism enterprise has different tourism resources that have been set up in various tourism destinations. The benefits of tourism destination will be changed according to different time points. For example, Hokkaido is the popular tourism regions. However, the important activity to travel Hokkaido in spring, summer, autumn, and winter is different. Relative activity is shown in Table1. Although Matsumae, Takinoue, Furano, Biei, Noboribetsu, Sapporo, Niseko, and Abashiri all belong to one local place in Hokkaido, the benefit of those places will be changed as the time goes by. So, each tourism enterprise invests human resource and equipment in that tourism destination. The investment performance of that tourism destination for tourism enterprise will be changed according to time points.Table 1

They will consider the characteristic of tourism destinations in Hokkaido at this time point. The attractive ability of tourism destinations has some differences among each tourism enterprise because each tourism enterprise’s investment in those destinations is different.Therefore, the competitive ability of tourism enterprises is based on the resources of each tourism destination that belongs to specific tourism regions [3]. The overall competitive ability of the tourism enterprise will be higher than that of other enterprises in the tourism industry when the tourism enterprise has relatively sufficient resources in this tourism region.The goal of the work is to build the framework for evaluating competitive ability of tourism enterprises based on tourism resource in each tourism destination. Based on this framework, tourism enterprise can understand its competitive ability in special tourism regions.The execution procedure of this work is as follows. In the beginning, the resource-based view theory and tourism enterprise competitive ability relative to research will be taken over. After that, the execution process and some basic definitions of the proposed methods must be taken over in Section3. To let the enterprise understand the proposed method, the case study will be implemented and some detailed analysis should be executed in the next section. The advantage of the proposed method, conclusion, and interesting extended research topic can be taken over finally.


## 2. Literature Review

Sharifabadi and Ardakani [4] integrated interpretive structural modeling (ISM) with fuzzy TOPSIS for evaluating competitive ability of tourism industry. In this research, the comprehensive framework will be designed to understand the criteria, which will affect Yazd Province tourism trend in PRC. Görener [5] applied AHP and SWOT for understanding Turkey business status in the tourism industry and judge the importance of criteria, which can influence Turkey tourism industry. Bagheri et al. [6] employed VIKOR and TOPSIS to evaluate each tourism region in Iran. Experiment results show that the excellent Iranian tourism infrastructure is Tehran in Iran.Bire et al. [7] combined DEMATEL and fuzzy TOPSIS to evaluate tourism destination competitiveness at the regional level in East Nusa Tenggara Province from Indonesia. Gharaibeh et al. [8] analyzed that the augmented reality (AR) application influences intention for the tourism industry in Jordan. They collected 450 samples and applied Smart PLS version 3.0 to test twelve hypotheses. Research result can let us understand that aesthetics and performance expectancy were the most significant criteria, which will influence the willingness to use augmented reality application. Tleuberdinova et al. [9] considered both internal and external factors to design tourism competitiveness indices. They applied their indices to evaluate the destination competitiveness of Kazakhstan. Agustin et al. [10] used the TTCR model and PROMETHEE-GAIA method to analyze tourism competitiveness in Indonesia. Their methods showed that health facilities and capacities were the most important ability to evaluate tourism competitiveness of villages in Indonesia.In previous research, the scholars applied multi-criteria decision technologies to evaluate the performance of relative target. It included tourism industry, tourism enterprise, and tourism destination. However, the past method does not consider that the performance of tourism relative to target with respect to each dimension maybe needs the detailed analysis in different time points and different places. So, the motivation of the work is to design the framework for evaluating the performance of tourism relative target in more detail by considering time and space factors. This framework can overcome the gap in the traditional MCDM method, which does not consider the time and space factors.

## 4. Case Study and Detailed Analysis

In this study, we take one listed tourism enterprise in Taiwan as research target. This tourism enterprise wants to evaluate its competitive ability in the tourism region of Hokkaido. So, the process of the proposed method must be executed in the following steps.Step 1. Build the enterprise competitive ability evaluation teamCase tourism travel enterprise invites nine experts to organize enterprise competitive ability evaluation team. The invited experts come from the tourism industry, government, and university (refer to Table3). So, those experts are representative to evaluate the competitive ability of each tourism enterprise.Step 2. Decide competitorCase enterprise selects three listed tourism enterprise as an alternative. Enterprise competitive ability evaluation team will evaluate the competitive ability of case enterprise and three listed tourism enterprise in Hokkaido. The evaluation alternative is as follows: case enterpriseA1, tourism enterprise competitor 1 A2, tourism enterprise competitor 2 A3, and tourism enterprise competitor 3 A4.Step 3. Decide tourism criteria and evaluation periodAfter discussing, experts decide on five criteria to evaluate the competitive of alternative. The criteria include equipment resourceC1, human resource C2, innovation degree of activity C3, brand image C4, and relationship in torsion destination C5. The evaluation period includes criteria such as spring T1, summer T2, autumn T3, and winter T4. The destination in Hokkaido includes Matsumae D, Furano D2, Sapporo D3, and Niseko D4.Step 4. Gather experts’ opinionfive-scale linguistic variable has been applied by experts (refer to Table4) for describing opinions about the performance of tourism enterprises (refer to Tables 5–8 and 9). Compared with the 7-scale linguistic variable and the 9-scale linguistic variable, the five-scale linguistic variable is the relatively simple tool for expert to apply. Because there are too many opinions that needs expert to express and experts’ evaluation loading should be lightened, we choose the relatively simple tool (five-scale linguistic variable) to let expert express opinion.Step 5. Integrate experts’ opinionFormula (1) is used to integrate experts’ opinion.Step 6. Collect customers’ information in tourism destinationTaiwan customers’ information in each tourism destination during different time points has been investigated (refer to Table10).Step 7. Normalize the customer volume index of customers’ information in tourism destinationcustomer volume of each tourism destination in the tourism region can be normalized by formula (2).Step 8. Calculate the weight of criterion combinationsFormula (3) is applied for calculating weight of criterion combinations.Step 9. Calculate the weighted decision matrixweighted decision matrix will be acquired by formula (4).Steps 10–11. Calculate the positive ideal solution (PIS) and negative ideal solution (NIS)PIS and NIS have been acquired by formulas (5) and (6).Steps 12–13. Calculate the distance between tourism enterprise and PIS and NISFormula (7) is used to calculate the distance between tourism enterprise and PIS.Formula (8) is used to calculate the distance between tourism enterprise and NIS.Step 14. Calculate the relative closeness of tourism enterprisesFinally, the relative closeness of tourism enterprises can be calculated by formula (9). The rank of each tourism enterprise is A2>A1>A3>A4. The competitive ability of case enterprise is in the second rank.Table 3
