The separate analyses allows to identify, conceptualize and characterize the main determining factors of the competitive success in each model, and the confront between them enables to confirm a convergent context and scenery in the indication of the sustainability paradigm attributes for the tourist routes as strategic elements for its planning, organization and management.
