Abstract

We propose a composite indicator for the assessment of tourism sustainability in European Union (EU) countries relatively to years 2019 and 2021. Our proposal is a revisitation of the Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI), which is based on a uniform weighting scheme, by means of the Multi-Directional Benefit of the Doubt (MD-BoD) model, an innovative non-compensatory method able to derive a country-specific preference structure from the data. Thanks to the MD-BoD model, each pillar and elementary indicator receives a score that reflects the potential improvement of the country relatively to an empirical benchmark, therefore it is possible to objectively identify weak and strong dimensions of tourism sustainability before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. As such, our composite indicator represents a valuable support for the design of policies aimed at increasing the resilience of the European tourism ecosystem.

评估欧盟国家旅游业的可持续性：多向疑点效益综合指标

我们提出了一个综合指标，用于评估欧盟（EU）国家 2019 年和 2021 年旅游业的可持续性。我们的建议是通过 "多向疑点收益"（MD-BoD）模型，对基于统一加权方案的 "旅行与采样；旅游发展指数"（TTDI）进行重新审视。该模型是一种创新的非补偿性方法，能够从数据中得出特定国家的偏好结构。由于采用了 MD-BoD 模型，每个支柱和基本指标都会得到一个分数，该分数反映了该国相对于经验基准的潜在改善程度，因此可以客观地确定旅游业可持续性在 Covid-19 大流行前后的强弱维度。因此，我们的综合指标为制定旨在提高欧洲旅游生态系统复原力的政策提供了宝贵的支持。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
