Abstract :
We develop a new approach for dealing with uncertain information in a decision making problem about tourism management. We use a new aggregation operator that uses the uncertain weighted average and the uncertain induced ordered weighted averaging (UIOWA) operator in the same formulation. We study some of the main advantages and properties of the new aggregation called uncertain induced ordered weighted averaging - weighted averaging (UIOWAWA) operator. We study its applicability in a decision making problem about the selection of holiday trips. We see that depending on the particular type of UIOWAWA operator used, the results may lead to different decisions.
