The analytic hierarchy process as a support for decision making

Abstract

The first part of this text deals with a convention site selection as one of the most lucrative areas in the tourism industry. The second part gives a further description of a method for decision making – the analytic hierarchy process. The basic characteristics: hierarchy constructions and pairwise comparison on the given level of the hierarchy are allured. The third part offers an example of application. This example is solved using the Super – Decision software, which is developed as a computer support for the analytic hierarchy process. This indicates that the AHP approach is a useful tool to help support a decision of convention site selection.
