“…The outcomes (data) of the content analysis are then used for the elaboration of the qualitative multi-attribute model using the DEX methodology. The model of sustainability marketing is based on theoretical definitions of the subject and following the recommendations of the DEX methodology as proposed by Bohanec (2015) and Golob et al (2015). For this purpose, a primary hierarchical model of sustainable marketing (as a helpful tool for the decision-makers in the awarding procedure) is elaborated.…”

Background and Purpose: An analysis of the dimension of sustainability in the context of competing for the title of the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) is included in the article. The authors of the research agree that the proper integration of cultural policy into the social system impacts and changes cultural values and beliefs, shifting them towards sustainable behaviour and sustainability. Many authors analyse the interrelation between culture and sustainability, thus defining the role of culture for sustainability. However, few discuss possible approaches or tools, which may offer assistance in the matter of how to reach sustainability in the context of culture.Design/Methodology/Approach: Research is based on the comparative analysis of the applications of the respective cities. The TBL methodology is implemented using the content analysis method as a tool. The outcomes of the content analysis are then used for the elaboration of the qualitative multi-attribute model using the DEX methodology.Results: While analysing bidding documents for the ECoC we: a) define the importance of the marketing plan (described as a comprehensive action) and b) argue that ECoC marketing needs to be turned to “sustainability marketing” as it is described and defined by many authors.Conclusions: The ECoC Commission should consider the importance of culture for sustainable development and, respectively, should evaluate the marketing plan of applicants under the sustainability framework.

“…In addition, Ljubljana is also the administrative and business centre of Slovenia, so many new hotels in the city serve business travellers. Some product diversification is beginning to take place in Ljubljana as it matures as an urban tourism destination, in particular through the promotion of sports events such as the Ljubljana marathon (Golob et al 2015) and Maravic et al (2015) have shown that this new focus on sport across Slovenia will aid the destination's attempt to become more competitive in the international tourism market.…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to develop a new perspective on urban tourist motivations by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model to help to understand how tourists make decisions about which destinations to visit. MethodThis study was based on 30 1-hour long structured interviews with visitors to Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. Respondents were asked to express their preferences between different pull-factor motives for their visit, using Saaty's scale, and further qualitative data was collected to examine these preferences in more depth. FindingsThe results of this study indicate that the most relevant criteria and thus predominant factors in motivation for visits to Ljubljana are the Cultural and Nightlife pull-factors, while Religious and Business motives are the lowest ranked factors. The paper argues that the results show the value of applying the AHP model to understand the role of pull-factors in urban tourism destination choice. Research limitations/implicationsAs a single-destination case study, it is important that the findings of this research are evaluated against similar studies in other cities. A limitation of this research is the fact that sub motives within major groups of pull-factor motives have not been explored in this study and this should be the subject of future, more detailed research. Originality/valueThis research shows the value of applying, AHP, an under-used method to understand urban tourist motivations. The new knowledge gained through applying this method is of value to destination marketing organisations as well as to researchers conducting future studies, who will be able to replicate it and test its value.

“…Ars and Bohanec [34] developed a model based on a qualitative multi-deprecating model using the DEXi program in order to design a tool for reducing the environmental footprint of tourists in sensitive and underdeveloped mountainous areas, thus contributing to mountain eco-tourism. Golob et al [45] supported decision-making based on the DEX method for the sustainability of sports events in Slovenia.…”

This paper explores ethno-villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina as an important element of rural and cultural tourism. The attractiveness of natural and cultural heritage is very important for sustainable rural tourism development. In order to improve the process of decision making to enable the sustainable development of ethno-villages, a multi-criteria assessment model has been developed. The methodology is based on qualitative modeling using a multi-criteria analysis via the DEXi software. The model is based on hierarchical relations consisting of three main criteria that are the basis of sustainable tourism development: economic, social, and environmental criteria. The ultimate goal of the model in this study was to evaluate ethno-villages, namely six ethno-villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of the study show how ethno-villages contribute to sustainable development.
