Abstract
ABSTRACT The increasing number of touristic attractions and destinations within urban environments has led to an escalation in the complexity of decision-making processes for visitors. This study provides insights to assist the tourists’ decision-making for choosing destinations by considering realistic criteria. The objective of current research is to prioritize the following criteria: travel time, travel cost, privacy, weather, rating, accessibility, security, safety, environmental effects, and health effects. An empirical study on touristic destinations in Budapest city with two main scenarios was conducted, where Parsimonious Analytical Hierarchy Process (PAHP), a recently Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) developed approach, is applied. The results show that the security criterion has the highest priority with a final weight of 0.567, while the lowest influential criterion is privacy with a weight of 0.051. The findings attempt to assist tourists in decision-making and planning with correspondence between the characteristics of touristic destinations and trip circumstances.
