THE EVALUATION MODEL OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT BASED ON UNCERTAIN LINGUISTIC INFORMATION Marija Paunović

Abstract

In decision-making problems, including tourism, there are many situations in which information cannot be estimated directly in numerical values but may be in linguistic variables, as words or sentences in a natural or artificial language. In case of a high complexity of problems, decisions are usually made in terms of uncertainty or the information may be unquantifiable due to its nature in regards to a particular problem. On the other hand, collecting information and processing it can lead to high costs, so the use of approximate values in the evolution process is tolerated. In this research, decision-making problems for evaluating tourism management are investigated and numerical examples with uncertain linguistic information are presented.
