Abstract EN
This study constructs a new travel risks’ evaluation model for freelancers to evaluate and select tour groups by considering the interdependencies of the evaluation criteria used.
First of all, the proposed model adopts the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to identify suitable evaluation criteria for evaluating travel risks.
Six evaluation criteria and 18 subcriteria are obtained.
The six evaluation criteria are financial risk, transportation risk, social risk, hygiene risk, sightseeing spot risk, and general risk for freelancer tour groups.
Secondly, the model uses the analytic network process (ANP) to determine the relative weight of the criteria.
Finally, examples of group package tours (GPTs) are used to demonstrate the travel risk evaluation process for this model.
The results show that the Tokyo GPT is the best group tour.
The proposed model helps freelancers to effectively evaluate travel risks and decision-making, making it highly applicable to academia and tour groups.
