A key moment in the fight against terrorism is to prevent terrorist financing. This is well recognised by the international community, but despite all the rules, terrorist groups are well financed. One of the best funded terrorist groups in recent years has been ISIS/ISIL. The terrorist group has used many forms of financing to ensure its own financial stability. For the war on terror to be successful, it is essential to know the wide range of ways in which a terrorist group can use to finance itself. Knowledge is the key to success. A broad cross-section of society needs to be aware of the many areas of the economy where illegal terrorist financing can be found. This knowledge can contribute to preventive counter-terrorism action.

This study assesses tourism competitiveness in the Chengdu-Deyang-Meishan-Ziyang Metropolitan Area using SPSS and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). A 19-indicator system evaluates market, resource, development, scale, and environmental competitiveness. Seven principal components (cumulative contribution: 87.36%) highlight tourism service capacity, competitive potential, and resource endowment as key drivers. Clustering ranks 14 regions, revealing Mianzhu, Pengzhou, Chongzhou, and Dujiangyan as leaders due to superior location and infrastructure, while Zhongjiang and Renshou lag due to economic and market limitations. Tourism service capacity (25.99% contribution) is pivotal, with room occupancy and tourist reception as critical factors. Lower-ranked regions should optimize structures and leverage unique resources for growth. This study offers strategic insights for regional tourism development and methodological frameworks for urban agglomerations.
