“…Differences between methods are attributed to the purposeful selection of Delphi panellists, communications with participants and attrition monitoring. Using a combination of strategies, as recommended in the literature by antecedents such as Andronovich (1995), Briedenhann and Butts (2006), Garrod and Fyall (2005), Pan et al (1995) and as proposed here (funnel model), an attrition management plan has been developed for a Delphi study in the ecotourism domain. Over the course of a six-month period, the plan was executed.…”

In the last 30 years, there has been increasing application of the Delphi technique to tourism research. However, mystifi cation regarding Delphi characteristics and procedures is evident in the literature. Through critical examination, this paper seeks to demystify the Delphi and advance understanding of the technique, contribute to the evolution of methodological guidelines, and provide further guidance to tourism researchers. A generic Delphi procedure is introduced, a critical review of its advantages and potential problems is presented, and critical design decisions are identifi ed. Expert panel design and management are emphasised through example and critical review.

“…Future Internet 2022, 14, x FOR PEER REVIEW 7 of 26 can be defined as a conceptualization stage, where the outcomes correspond to the contributions highlighted in this paper. The future scope of research includes a technical validation, simulating the conceptual design [14,74], and the quantification of the impact of this research to the AD/sports ecosystem by the application of a Delphi study [73,75]. The future research scope is expected to create two additional contributions to be submitted for future publication.…”

Blockchain for Doping Control Applications in Sports: A Conceptual Approach

2022

Doping is a well-known problem in competitive sports. Along the years, several cases have come to public, evidencing corrupt practices from within the sports environment. To guarantee fair play and prevent public health issues, anti-doping organizations and sports authorities are expected to cooperate in the fight against doping. To achieve this mission, doping-related data must be produced, stored, accessed, and shared in a secure, tamperproof, and privacy-preserving manner. This paper investigates the processes and tools established by the World Anti-Doping Agency for the global harmonization of doping control activities. From this investigation, it is possible to conclude that there is an inherent trust problem, in part due to a centralized data management paradigm and to the lack of fully digitalized processes. Therefore, this paper presents two main contributions: the concept of a multiorganizational decentralized data governance model and a blockchain-based design for one of the most sensitive data-sharing processes within the anti-doping ecosystem. Throughout this article, it is shown that the adoption of a permissioned blockchain can benefit the whole anti-doping community, creating more reliable processes for handling data, where privacy and security are enhanced.

“…Delphi processes undertaken in the past predominantly evaluated consensus through the calculation of the mean or median score, while the degree of convergence has been reflected in the standard deviation (e.g. Seely et al 1980;Kaynak and Macauley 1984;Miller 2001 As applied to tourism, the Delphi technique has been used to define other tourism issues, such as 'marine ecotourism' (Garrod and Fyall 2005); to identify and rank events that would influence international tourism business (Kibedi 1981); to forecast tourism demand in particular tourism destinations (Lui 1998); and how best to market those locations (Pan et al 1995); how and when future developments might affect the world tourism industry (Moutinho and Witt 1995); to develop indicators for sustainable tourism (Miller 2001); develop evaluation frameworks for tourism projects (Bridenhann and Butts 2006); and also to predict changes in the tourism industry relating to political change (Lloyd et al 2000).…”

Over the years a plethora of factors have been associated with sustainable tourism in the literature, but little has been done to prioritize those that are most important to stakeholders in destinations. In particular, this research aimed to identify factors perceived as essential for sustainable nature-based tourism operating in transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) in southern Africa. A Delphi consultation was conducted in which 518 southern African experts from government, academia, non-governmental organizations, the private sector and consultancies were invited to contribute. Participants rated the relative importance of 502 policy, planning, economic, environmental and social factors drawn from the literature, and additional factors suggested by regional consultees. A statistically significant level of consensus was achieved on 159 multidisciplinary factors considered to be 'essential' or 'incompatible' with sustainable nature-based tourism in TFCAs. The implications for the assessment of sustainable nature-based tourism in southern African TFCAs are discussed, with a review of how they relate to tourism in the Great Limpopo TFCA: a transboundary protected area that incorporates protected areas in Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
