Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify key factors for competitiveness enhancement and tourism sector development in Southeastern European (SEE) countries. For the purposes of this research, factors (the so-called, pillars and subindexes) of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) have been analyzed by applying proper statistical models (descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis). Considering the fact that there is a high level of correlation between the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) and TTCI, the influence of TTCI factors on GCI in SEE countries has been analyzed within this paper. This research points out the fact that human resources represent significant factor SEE countries should pay more attention to, when building up new strategies and programs of tourism sector development in function of increasing the competitiveness level and the growth of that sector.
