FUZZY MULTI-OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF TOURISM INVESTMENTS IN TURKEY

Abstract

In recent years, tourism has been one of the major business areas for countries. Especially after the 1980's the share of tourism from individual earnings has increased day by day. For this reason, investments in this sector have to be feasible and logical. But in the literature, there are nearly no issues of engineers—which types of tourism or which investment questions must be discussed and calculated numerically. For the numerical example in this study, firstly, we decided the tourism type planned to invest in Turkey with fuzzy ANP from an engineering point of view. Then, three real investment projects from Turkey were found for this tourism type and prioritized using fuzzy ANP. Using these weights and financial data belonging to these projects, we apply fuzzy multi-objective decision-making to see the most feasible investment among these three investments. This application is not only for Turkey but can also be applied to different countries using the same decision-making techniques. This paper brings an engineering point of view to the tourism literature and helps investors with feasible investments. To the authors' knowledge, this will be the first study that deals with tourism investments numerically.
