Tourism revenue is an extremely important source of income in terms of countries. At this point, each country competes with other countries in its selected field. The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) is an indicator which reveals who is better, and this index constitutes the order of countries. In this study focuses on the competitive ranking alternative to the Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI). Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA) was used for this purpose.
