Real World Problems

In most of real world problems, alternatives are evaluated according to a large set of criteria which confuses the Decision Maker (DM) in terms of allotting alternatives’ assessments. So, to reduce the complexity of the presented problem, it is recommended to organize the criteria into a hierarchy tree to decompose the main problem into sub-ones. Therefore, the DM gains detailed insight on each level of the hierarchy instead of focusing only on one level. In this context, we propose an extension of the Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS) method to the case of hierarchically structured criteria. The proposed approach is called Hierarchical Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS-H) method. A major advantage of the ARAS-H method is that it enables the DM to analyze the partial pre-orders (the rankings of the alternatives) at each node of the criteria tree i.e. according to each sub-criterion. The partial pre-orders present solutions of the problem with respect to each subset of criteria. In view of determining the criteria weights at each level of the hierarchy tree, we apply the AHP method. Finally, we apply the ARAS-H method on a case study related to tourism which aims to rank tourist destination websites brands in accordance with a four levels criteria hierarchy.

Negative Impacts

Terrorist incidents at tourist destinations create several negative impacts. Many studies have focused on the intent of the tourists to visit a place affected by terrorism. However, there are no studies gauging the perceptions of travel agencies and tour operators. In this regard, this particular study intends to understand the detrimental effects of terrorism on various travel agencies and tour operators operating in Kashmir in India, which also form a part of MSMEs. Case study and semi-structured interviews have been used. The findings clearly illustrate that terrorism does have detrimental effects on a tourist destination and, in turn, deleterious effects on the travel agencies and tour operators operating in the region. It is also evident that there are political instabilities and lack of promotion and marketing of the destination. It is hoped that the political stability and proper promotion will lead to positive destination image and better management of the destination.
