Innovative and Competitive: A Systematic Literature Review on New Tourism Destinations and Products for Tourism Supply
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a relevant topic and would inform others from various countries about various approaches to new destinations and products of the tourism industry to be supplied to tourists. No remarks about the chosen methodology and literature review. However, there are some inconsistencies or hard-to-understand information about the papers which were selected for literature review (lines 117-122). And there are many slight typos, so a comprehensive proofreading of the paper is recommended.

Reviewer 2 Report
The paper is well configured and has great internal consistency. The objectives are well defined and so is the methodology, which is consistent with the previously planned objectives. However, the work has small form errors, which make the text difficult to read, and which would need to be corrected. First, authors need to correctly cite classroom resources, especially charts and maps. On the other hand, section 3.2.2. it should be supported by further doctrinal development, for which it would be necessary to increase the number of citations. Lastly, it would be necessary that, in line with further increasing the number of citations, certain classical literature be incorporated, with citations from old works, which allow the research topic to be analyzed from a more historical perspective and always taking into account the evolution of the data and events.
