Modelling Assignment: Tourist Development (Physical Geography)
Software and data you need for this modelling assignment:
- Vensim
- Whatever you want to use in addition.
Tasks
After you have developed a simple "tourism" model you have presented it in Hindafing's municipal assembly. Already looking for your first holiday, you have made the calculation without the host.
Your new task is to extent your model (while keeping it simply) to account for the effect of additional tourist infrastructure to boost income from tourism. Again, a presentation is required which should contain a graphical model representation (in terms of a stock and flow diagram) and some simulation results of this model which make your case.
Submission
Prepare the required presentation which in a software/format of your choice and upload the file in time via the exercises module of this course system. Upload the file as a team and include all your names in the presentation.
The submission deadline and the upload function can be found in the section Modelling Assignment: First revision of the exercise module.
Review and grading
The assignment will be reviewed by the course supervisors. It will be further discussed in a plenum with your peers during the next session. Hence, please do not only upload the presentation but be prepared to say a few words.
