My research project
The economic impact evaluation of experience-based innovation interventions—An agent-based model approachMy study advances the visitor economy literature by using complexity theory to propose a multi-agent model that unpacks the behaviour of the tourism system at regional level. It develops the conceptual agent-based model of EXPERIENCE to simulate the behaviour of the complex system under different scenarios of innovation, with and without occurrences of crisis. This study offers a practical implication by developing the EXPERIENCE model that can be utilised by destination managers, relevant local authorities, and businesses as a tool for future planning. The tool could help them to simulate the possible impacts of different innovation interventions with and without the presence of a crisis.
