Abstract

From the tourists’ risk perception in the tourism supply chain, an evaluation approach that based on 2-tuple linguistic model and quality function deployment is proposed. House of quality using 2-tuple model is constructed to compute the preference of suppliers’ service factors. By using multi-granularity linguistic term aggregation approach, non-homogenous decision information problem can be solved successfully. The process of assessment criteria based on fuzzy linguistic term sets has been discussed, and at last a case study on a travel operator’s evaluation of suppliers with risk perception solved by the proposed approach is illustrated.
