Using Geographical Information System and Multi-Criteria Analysis for Travelling Routing Design from Phayao Province to Luang Prabang

A novel approach combining Geographical Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Analysis successfully identified optimal travel routes from Phayao Province, Thailand, to Luang Prabang, Laos. This method leveraged expert input from Thai government agencies and private tourism businesses, alongside survey data, to construct a robust traveling database. The integration of GIS functionality with multi-criteria evaluation provided a data-driven solution that surpassed traditional routing methods, offering significant potential for enhancing tourism planning in the region. The findings underscore the effectiveness of this hybrid approach in addressing complex travel logistics while balancing multiple stakeholders' interests.
