KPI for Data-Driven Assessment of Innovative Development Paths for Nature-Based Health Tourism in the Alpine Region

Abstract

Tourism has been one of the most important economic sectors in the Alps for many years. However, not least because of the cuts due to the pandemic, new and innovative approaches are needed to meet current challenges such as climate change, shortage of skilled workers or demographic change in order to make Alpine tourism fit for the future. The topic of health offers great potential in this context. With the KPI approach, therefore, a possible access to a nature-based health tourism with medical evidence is presented, which should support the actors from the tourism practice in the further development of the Alpine tourism. At the same time, the KPI approach also offers possibilities to enable an overall more sustainable development of the Alpine region. This paper places the KPI approach in a larger development framework and explains the underlying analytical system based on selected indicators.

Sustainable Tourism Industry through Mapping Natural Tourism Potential: Taxonomy Approach

“…This research will help in grouping indicators for determining natural tourism potential, such as Attraction, Amenities, Accommodation, Activities, Accessibility, Support Services, Environment and Human Resources, to facilitate the use of knowledge. Meanwhile, the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) approach explained by [11] aims to increase understanding of the potential for development in the field of nature-based health tourism with the support of medical evidence, thereby helping regions exploit this potential. In this research, taxonomy is used as an indicator mapping tool, and not only mapping indicators but also weighting each indicator using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method.…”
