It must be emphasized that clusters, depending on the phase of their growth and development, exercise increasing influence over business organizations, as well as their competitive abilities. The more clusterized a particular business sector is, the more likely it is going to develop a competitive advantage. Therefore, it is important to identify and evaluate the influence of clusterization level on the competitiveness of a tourism sector, for it is one of the key sectors in modern service-based economies. The aim of the study is to identify the relation between the level of clusterization and tourism sector competitiveness; and the objectives of the study are: 1) to identify the main fields of cluster impact on the competitiveness of business sectors, and individual business firms; 2) to relate different cluster formation (growth, development) stages to the dynamics of competitiveness; 3) to develop a measurement tool for the evaluation of clusterization level (Clusterization Index, CI); 4) to develop a theoretical model that indicates the relation between the Clusterization Index (CI) and tourism sector competitiveness. The following methods have been applied in the study: logical and comparative analysis of literature; holistic and systematic approach; synthesis and deduction; graphical methods. [...].
