In this paper, we consider a two-species competitive and diffusive system with nonlocal delays. We investigate the existence of traveling wave fronts of the system by employing linear chain techniques and geometric singular perturbation theory. The existence of the traveling wave fronts analogous to a bistable wavefront for a single species is proved by transforming the system with nonlocal delays to a six-dimensional system without delay.

Keywords: Lotka-Volterra model, geometrical singular perturbation, traveling wave solution, bistable, competition.
