Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of sustainable tourism indicators on destination competitiveness, using the European Tourism Indicator System (ETIS) as a reference. By assessing the absorptive capacity of destination management organisations (DMOs), the study found that DMOs acquired knowledge about the importance of sustainable tourism indicators through ETIS and developed their own systems based on its principles. However, the European Commission had unrealistic expectations that DMOs or their policies would undergo significant transformation as a result of using indicators, or that indicators would be utilized to improve tourism sustainability and competitiveness.
