I am tendering my resignation this month. Is it ok to know that my present supervisor and the rest of the team know exactly the company where I am going? They asked me and I gave them clues. Obviously to one of the direct competitor of the company with in same line of industry. Well, of course I am leaving with a clean slate but somehow with a reason of not being appreciated with my position but I didn't state it in my letter. But you know what I mean for those who could envy me, what will I do with such people? I really hope they will wish me well because they have any opportunity to advance within the company now..

Taking your statement at face value. i.e. you have no hidden problems with the change, you should act in such a way as to retain the respect and friendship of your current associates and the company. It would be perfectly natural and a sign of good relations and trust to tell your supervisor and colleagues where you are going. On the other hand to refuse to tell them would indicate something wrong with your relationship with them and or the company, or some alterior motive in leaving that would damage your present company.
The only reason to withhold this information from colleagues would be a request from your new employer for a limited time to prepare their own affected staff for the new employee. Such a request should be for a short and limited time, [ aday or two] so you can part with your employer on the best of terms.
You are leaving with a clean slate. Keep it clean in the manner of your going.
You would not be going if you did not consider the change a better opportunity for you. Everyone will know this and accept it. I left several companies in my career, I always told the company and my colleagues where I was going, I always retained good will with previous companies , supervisors and coworkers. I never experienced envy from co workers.
The opportunity is yours, the decision is yours. It is normal for colleagues to genuinely wish you well and hope the opportunity works out well for you. Life will go on in their company and your position will be filled.

Why did you tell them you were taking another job in the first place?? There is no reason to tell them where you are going, just be polite and say "I'd rather not disclose that"
No further explanation is needed.

They say "don't burn bridges behind you because you may have to use them again someday". In other words, leave on the best possible terms. Tell them where you are going if you have nothing to hide.

You don't need them. If you're leaving, then you have no need to concern yourself with them anymore.

It's really none of their business where you'll be working.

They will find out anyway.
