Multi-criteria Decision Support System for Selection of Trips by Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Abstract

Multi-criteria decision support systems are a type of information system whose principal objective is to support a human decision maker during the process of arriving at a decision. It is a selection of the best action from a set of alternatives, each of which is evaluated against multiple, and often conflicting criteria. Among many multi-criteria decision-making approaches, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been coming into applications in relevant areas. The AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) which is one of the mathematical methods can be very useful in involving several decision makers or travelers with different conflicting objectives to arrive at a consensus decision. The decision makers or travelers have to face and take attention with a lot of criteria; such as cost, place type, time taken, transportation type and star rate while choosing the best successful trip in their vacations. This paper presents a decision support system method for travelers to find the wonderful trip in vacations by using AHP.
