چکیده

با افزایش رقابت در صنعت گردشگری و رشد انتظارات گردشگران، رقابت‌پذیری به عاملی کلیدی در موفقیت مقاصد تبدیل شده است. با وجود اهمیت این موضوع، تاکنون ارزیابی جامع و نظام‌مندی از وضعیت رقابتی پیست‌های اسکی ایران انجام نشده بود. این پژوهش با هدف شناسایی ابعاد مؤثر بر رقابت‌پذیری و رتبه‌بندی پیست‌های اسکی، به‌صورت آمیخته (کیفی و کمی) انجام شد. در فاز کیفی، از مرور نظام‌مند ادبیات و تکنیک دلفی فازی با مشارکت ۱۸ خبره، ۲۳ شاخص در شش بُعد اصلی استخراج شد. در فاز کمی، با مشارکت ۳۰۲ نفر از مدیران و کارشناسان گردشگری، داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه گردآوری و با آزمون‌های آماری تحلیل شد. نتایج نشان داد پیست‌ها از نظر رقابت‌پذیری تفاوت معناداری دارند؛ توچال رتبه نخست و کاکان رتبه آخر را داشتند. این نتایج می‌تواند راهنمایی برای بهبود سیاست‌های توسعه گردشگری زمستانی باشد.

چکیده [English]

With increasing competition in tourism and rising tourist expectations, destination competitiveness has become crucial. However, no comprehensive assessment of Iran’s ski resorts had been conducted. This study aimed to identify key competitiveness dimensions and rank active ski resorts in Iran using a mixed-method approach. In the qualitative phase, a systematic literature review and fuzzy Delphi technique with 18 experts led to the identification of 23 indicators in six main dimensions. In the quantitative phase, data from 302 tourism and sports professionals were collected through a validated questionnaire. One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests were used for analysis. The results showed significant differences in competitiveness among the ski resorts. Tochal ranked highest in most dimensions, while Kakan had the lowest score. These findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders to evaluate and enhance the competitiveness of winter tourism destinations by focusing on key indicators and addressing destination-specific weaknesses.
