“…Though the traditional tourism forecasting methods are typically linear and deterministic, the system under study is dynamic and influenced by unpredictable externalities (Baggio, 2008;Faulkner & Russell, 1997;McKercher, 1999). Computational modelling and simulation approaches have been gradually applied in the context of tourism, such as system dynamics (Jamal, Borges, & Figueiredo, 2004), CA (Petrov, Lavalle, & Kasanko, 2009), and agent-based modelling (Balbi, Giupponi, Perez, & Alberti, 2013;Boavida-Portugal, Ferreira, & Rocha, 2015;Johnson & Sieber, 2009Johnson et al, 2016;Pizzitutti, Mena, & Walsh, 2014).…”

“…This has implications for sustainable development studies. The appreciation of complex, nonlinear patterns in the way tourism operates has seen emphasis placed during recent years on studying tourism as a system within complexity theory (McKercher 1999;Walker et al 1999;Faulkner and Russell2002;Jamal et al 2004). Tourism does not operate in a linear manner following the Newtonian paradigm but rather non-linearity is inherent in tourism, resulting in complex interrelationships further boosting the non-linear patterns of tourism relations (Laws et al 1998;McKercher 1999;Faulkner and Russell 2002).…”

There is a growing body of literature arguing for the need to examine sustainable tourism and policies for sustainable tourism within complexity theory. Methods which are particularly developed to study complex problems are needed in order to move from conceptualization and theory to understanding and operationalization of the complexity underpinning policies for sustainable tourism. This paper discusses the development of a cognitive mapping method to study sustainable tourism policy as a complex problem which has to be viewed holistically, with ethical implications, and with means and goals being intermingled in adaptive routes. A variation of SODA (Strategic Options Development and Analysis) approach to cognitive mapping is proposed and the decisions the researcher has to make regarding the method of elicitation, the coding and the analysis of the cognitive maps are discussed. This method is particularly useful to study complexity between policy issues as perceived by policy-makers and to build models in the form of cognitive maps. The method discussed here provides rich qualitative information capable of revealing goals, key policy considerations, and their interrelatedness in a holistic context. Complexity may be examined and structured, and policies can be studied as a set of interrelated policy issues. In this way, policies for sustainable tourism can be improved on the basis of knowledge and complexity management.

“…The software STELLA has been recognized as a recommendable, more user-available (for example, in a demo version), functionally more acceptable and easier to acquire for ecological and economical systems 16 . Foreign researchers have used the STELLA model, for example, in the planning of tourism 17 , and in the destination management, National park ecological relationship and economical value connection research 18 , in the decision process of vacation and tourism development 19 .…”

Latvia can be described as a tourist-friendly country. The assumption is based on the statistical data of the ever increasing share of tourism services as a part of the GDP. The tendency of growth of the tourism sector comes with downsides which include an increasing pressure on the territories of special protection area status. The goal of the research is to create a tourism service consumption model that can be used as a tool for sustainable management of the special protection areas (SPAs) while reaching the present and future needs in an efficient way. The model was created with the system modeling software STELLA and based on the acknowledged data of the Slitere National Park tourism resources, the monitoring data from the period of 2009 till 2011, and on the local and international experience and methods for determining the capacity of national parks. When comparing acquired data from software STELLA and Excel, tourism service consumption model validity was ascertained with a result of 0.98 and the credibility -0.97. The input data is changeable; the platform is lucid and widely usable also in future.
