Abstract

Planning for the tourism sector is a challenging task, given that tourism is a complex system of diverse and deeply connected components, engaging a variety of stakeholders with conflicting goals. This study develops a participatory model for the tourism sector in Tunisia based upon system dynamics to analyse the potential problems and understand the causal interactions within the tourism sector in Tunisia. The model investigates the complex feedbacks between three sustainability modules, namely economic, environmental and socio-cultural sectors. A literature review and interviews among 36 stakeholders from different areas related to the tourism sector helped to identify the elements of the system and the different feedback. The main result of this study is the development of a system dynamic-based tourism model for Tunisia that can be used by policy-makers to achieve sustainable tourism development.
