TY - THES AU - Caminada, Anitah T1 - Consumer-Based Model to Explore a Socio-Economic Network T4 - The Case of Surselva-Gotthard Tourism Industry DA - 2013 CY - Chur PB - Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft HTW Chur A3 - Luthe, Tobias AB - The Alpine tourism industry has a lower adaptive capacity to climate change and stresses. The industry dominated by SMEs, with many different actors and objectives cannot generate economies of scale and scope. A shared strategic vision by taking advantage of existing networks and integrating several stakeholders in the value chain is crucial. This study implements a system approach to evaluate destination’s resilience building, in response to climate change. The main aim was to develop a data-driven ABM to help gather qualitative data through in-depth tourist interviews, to map the socio-economic network of Surselva-Gotthard region, from a consumer perspective. It is a qualitative case study and a follow-up of an earlier quantitative research by the ITF, which will also use the data to map and analyse the network. 15 interviews were col-lected, a response rate of 19.7%, which indicates its problems in data collection. There is evidence that ABM is applicable in mapping such a network. M3 - Masterarbeit Tourism M4 - Citavi ER -
